Saturday 
A light breeze at Frocester, very smooth.
I had a minor problem, I had set one of my brakes badly causing the servo to draw a lot of current when the brakes were deployed. This meant going home early on a perfect flying afternoon

Photos: The slope at the top of Frocester hill and the paragliders bowl, also the landing spot with me standing at the top.
I had to cut down a couple large bushes to give me a space to land my Pegase
