Thur 26th August -Pocklington

After a day of ground travels seeing the North York Moors, the team was presented with another scrub day for the two-seater comp but with a forecast hinting at wave. 

 


JP and Phil took DD3 on a late afternoon wave chase which burnt a load of petrol but did eventually yield a climb in a gap through the Stratus near York. 


 After testing a rapid descent drill we climbed high enough to drop back and over to a bigger gap. This allowed a climb to 7000ft. A few gaps showed downwind but the air was very damp and with the new gap shrinking the Duo dived through and ran home.


 JP back to Devon tomorrow and guest Eagle driver Mike Armstrong roped in to keep the hopes of retaining best wood alive! - John Pursey
