Magnificent Seven Glide Again!

A great turnout today up on Newhaven cliffs with Ian, Scott, Tony, Graham, Robin, Mark and myself all flying. It felt like the old days with plenty of friendly banter and us all enjoying each others company.

We had a couple of cliff flying virgins with Robin and Tony who both flew and one of them managed to get back to the landing zone and Tony cleverly landed his model over the back but on the path. Scott on the other hand shot off downwind and into the sunken jungle of doom, well the brambles and gorse behind the slope. An hour later Tony and Scott appeared with a wildthing and tattered clothes and covered in dirt and blackberry stains. Not sure what they had been up too but Tony look knackered!

These pics were taken by Scott while him and Tony were enjoying themselves in the bushes. Apparently looking for a model in a tree. Oh yes..... likely story!

 

Ian and Grahan had mouldies, I had my faithful old M60, Mark flew his Blaze and Robin flew his own design wing. Here are a few video's taken from this mornings flying:

And a shot behind Graham just before touchdown.

Thank you everyone for making the effort and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as Tony and Scott seemed to have done? Who would have thought the rain would stay away and give us a good couple of hours soaring.
