Flying Itford Hill 31 Aug 2014

 
 
Hi All,
Today Paul, Clint, Graham U and I (Rob) met at Itford at 09:30.
We went to the N facing bowl, but found that there was little or no lift at that time.
 
We decided to try our new Vagabonds and Graham kindly took some video of the occasion as below

 
 
 
 
There wasn't much lift but we all managed to get some kind of flying in.
Graham reverted to his Libelle which flew for 40 minutes without a break and we all just watched because we didn't have anything up to that.
After about 11:00 the wind swung round and we were able to get some better sloping , Paul flew his brilliant Typhoon, Clint his Pzazz and I stuck to my only model on the day - the Vagabond.
 
At 11:30 we were joined by 6 colleagues from Dartford who had come down for the day and we all got on famously - it was good to meet them and I hope to see them again.
 
All-in-all a variable day, but still we got 3.5 hours of relative good sloping.
Rob
