Slope soaring

Monday

A good day on Minch some strong lift and quite turbulent at times

  

My shadow flights and a much better one from another shadow

  

Tuesday

The afternoon was spoilt a little by a noisy Zagi; hear the video http://www.scsa.org.uk/video/DH.wmv 

I flew on Minch, the  lift was good, this would have been a record, the log shows a second motor run

Rodborough this morning  wind 15mph, wind chill -10c,
Air temp 2c, very blustery but good lift at times

Malvern today in 30mph+ winds, with the odd snow flurry thrown in for good measure. As luck would have it Ben filmed the last flight of the day - me flying my Aeromacchi MB339. It speaks for itself.
 
Great fun day and some beautiful lift to boot. If only I could have mastered the landing!!!
