Me and Clint struggled through the traffic to get to Newhaven Fort and we arrived twenty minutes late. On arrival there was no parking at the Fort due to a Halloween party with tons of horrible kids with painted faces. Floating above us where loads of Paragliders skimming over the top of the cliff and looked too low to have us and them flying in the same airspace. Rob had been there but decided the whole situation was too stressful and took himself off home. After a quick chat with Tim we decided this was not the place to fly and Tim went off home as well.. We caught up with Graham by phone only to find he had been up on the cliff flying but said it wasn't the best and had wandered back to his car. We all drove along the cliffs to towards Brighton Marina but the wind was too Easterly. We eventually ended up at the back of Ditchling Beacon. Me, Clint and Graham flew the Southerly bowl for a good half an hour to an hour. With two M60's and a Libelle. The M60 without ballast went surprisingly well in what was gentle lift. It wasn't a bad end to a some what frustrating afternoon.
