Several early birds traveled up on Thursday and took advantage of some mixed weather conditions to test the Bishop ridge. Pete Startup (230) managed 2 1/2 hours, Ron Johns and Chris Wool (711) a bit over 2 hours and Andy Davey (JB) was just short of 2 hours. Mid-day showers put a pause to the morning flights, but smiles abounded.

| The familiar view of Portmoak (Stu Procter) |
After an EARLY start from North Hill, Stu Procter, Simon Minson and Tom Sides arrived on site at 3pm, and with the combined help of the aforementioned early flyers, rigged the club DG505.
...and the Bishop (Simon Minson)
Stu and Simon were anxious to gain some time on the ridge and managed a late afternoon 25 minutes before a threatening shower encouraged a prudent decision to land and put away JZK for the night. James Flory and family arrived safely, having stopped several times to recharge their car battery. No flight today, but tomorrow looks encouraging. - TS
