Get Off My F-ing Land!!

Met Rob and Tim up at Jack & Jill Windmills on a dull and very cold Monday lunchtime.

 

The lift wasn't great but you could stay up OK. I flew my M60, Rob had his Ninja and Time flew his Moth. We had been flying for twenty minutes or so and there was a JCB digger chugging up from  the bottom of the hill and then over to a fire off in the distance. Then he slowly made his way back along the top and was making his way the exit gate behind us. Tim was flying buddy with his Moth and unfortunately went a little bit too far back during landing and the model came down between the gate and the farmer in his digger. Looking at the landing I would have said the model was in front of the digger but it was one of those times when you think you are nearer than you actually are. The glider never actually touched, scratched, dented the 5 tonne digger nor did it hit the farmer but the farmer was not a happy chappy. I collected Tim's model from beside the digger and started apologising to him. He replied with F-ing this - F-ing that and finally F-ing get off my land!!!
After he had finished swearing at me I walked back to Tim and Rob and we all picked up our models and made our way back to the cars. Myself and Rob went over to again apologise (again!) to the farmer who continued moaning and suggested he should have run the model over to teach us a lesson.
May I strongly suggest you don't fly up at Jack & Jill Windmills in the future as this is private land and we do not have permission to fly from the field in front of the Windmills. I suppose its a valuable lesson to us all that we should have permission to fly from private land and just because it has a car park adjacent and that Slope Hunter lists it as a site to fly from, you do actually need the land owners permission before going flying.
Moving on -
Graham is going to try and get to Firle Beacon tomorrow if anyone is Interested in joining him - See the shout box..........
