Finally a weekend worth speaking about

It may not have been epic, but it was certainly flyable.

I flew a trial lesson on Saturday and found relatively good thermals over the southern ridge, as did Fran.

Ali flew the Discus, before doing field landing checks in the Grob with Iain on Sunday.

The AGM took place on Saturday evening which was well attended and gave an opportunity to discuss a number of points. A new committee has been elected.

Sunday proved to be unsoarable early on however Graham Mann finally got the chance to fly his new toy, a self launching ASH25. Its an awesome bit of kit.

Solving the world's Energy crisis

Genius.

Kayaking

Since flying is out the question just now, I was going to be kayaking tonight at the Potarch.

Usually there is a nice steady flow of white water between the rocks, Grade 2 stuff.

This is the water level today - no rocks visible, and indeed some trees seem to be submerged.

Think I will give it a miss!

Club Class Championships 2012

I will be heading to Cambridge next week with Std Cirrus "S75" for the Club Class Championships...

If you want to follow the competition, more info will be posted here - http://www.glide.co.uk/comps/2012/ClubClass.aspx

I am ranked 39th out of the 50 pilots....so anything higher than that will be a bonus!

Now to pray I am not spending a week of annual leave (and quite a lot of money) to sit at a wet airfield drinking tea,

2012 Annual General Meeting

Please remember that the 2012 AGM is this weekend, Saturday evening....not quite sure of the time...?!

Epic weather

Well I wish I could tell you about Roys latest 500km flight at 150kph.

Or that the Capstan reached FL245 in wave last weekend.

Or that we enjoyed a fantastic BBQ in the sun on Saturday evening.

But I would be lying... the weather has been truly appalling.

Word on the street is that some new born Brtish babies are evolving webbed fingers and toes.

Surely a chance in the weather is just around the corner...
