Denbigh
First ever trip to Denbigh.......

| Conwy estuary (Ian Mitchell) |
After a rather uninspiring met briefing with no wave forecast most decided not to fly. However with the invitation of a site check with Phil Morrison in the Duo Discus it was worth flying even if it was just going to be a circuit, fortunately it turned into a nearly 2 hour tour of North Wales. - Ian Mitchell
After a week of flying
every day, some of the North Hill team at Denbigh were smugly OK with
having a rest day on Monday. Those of us who so far have only been able
to have a short flight on Sunday weren’t quite as pleased, but hey ho.
The
weather gurus were spot on with Tuesday’s forecast of slack southerly
winds and sunny skies, so those of us without engines in our gliders
once again occupied ourselves with non-flying tasks.

Mitchell came up on his first ever expedition to Denbigh, so Phil took
him on a local tour in DD3 (firing up the iron thermal a few times) and
flew first down to Colwyn Bay and then up to Ruthin showing Ian both the
Denbigh ridge and the “sweet spots” for wave. - Tom Sides
