Slope flying Monday p.m. Andy / Christine / Guy enjoyed reasonable lift. Some rare photos of my MiraJ to prove it, plus one of Andy’s Ash. They are rare because I just don’t seem to be able to fly through between the stone and tump and bank it for the photo shot. I completely forget what A & C were flying, except the Ash photo reminds me!
Thursday p.m. produced a light Westerly and A / C and Guy flew electric in some wonderful lift. Andy flew his Explorer as well and it loved the gentle conditions. |

Friday p.m. at Selsley – a gentle Westerly breeze
in the sunshine produced excellent lift for my electric Champion and Andy with
his Explorer. Saturday p.m. at Frocester. 8 or 9 mph Graham (old
floater) and Guy (MiraJ) and quiz time…. What’s very fast and blue and yellow? Yes, VERY fast? No,
not my MiraJ And ANDY FREEMAN!! Great to see him back on the slopes out
flying us all, as usual. He promises to be a regular again! Otherwise, the lift was reasonable but the sun was low in
your eyes, which I struggle with. see http://www.ebley.plus.com/photo/?M=D for photos
