Sunday Slope Soaring at Mill Hill

Wasn't sure about the wind direction today but I didn't need to have worried. arrived about 9.30 to be greeted with a good breeze blowing. Some of the locals had turned up to fly early and soon I was joined by Graham (a new comer to the sloper group - see below)) with his vintage slope soarer which flew very nicely indeed.

The wind was good but the lift was variable as I think it has some Westerly component in the wind.
Geoffrey turned up a little later with his Spectre. We got Geoffrey up and flying and spent some valuable time practicing take off, circuits and attempting some landings.
