Thank you Slope Soaring Susex

Thanks to Paul, Ian and all the other guys who made me feel welcome on Saturday and Sunday, flying at Ditchling and Firle.

I'm so glad the weather forecast turned out to be better than was forecast and we did manage to get some pretty good flying in.

I know Paul and Ian are keen to make the trip to S Wales and fly our big air slopes at the Bwlch and so I hope to see some of you there fairly soon.

Rhigos and then The Wrecker

Couldn't resist a quick trip to the Bwlch. Told the family it was a lovely day for a trip into the mountains. Warm and windy here. Went to Rhigos first for an ice cream then said lets going a find where 'Stella' was filmed. Knowing that the road ended up near the Bwlch.

Drove to the top and stopped at a very convienient lay-by right next to the near vertical slope edge. Got out the M60 which I had left on so completely flat. Thankfully the Dragon was with me. Chucked it off into strong lift with awsom thermals. Had 20 mins of fun but looking at the faces still siting in the car I thought it was time to land. Walked across the road and landed on top of a small hill. Looking forward to flying here again tomorrow.
