Rob, Tim and I met up at Mill Hill this Morning and we were greeted by 12 degrees, sunshine and good lift.
The hill was quiet and not full of the usual crowd thankfully. Another small issue meant that the English Electric Lightning didn't get into the air but we did plenty of other flying. Tim did especially well with a number of solo flights followed by good landings. Me and Rob played silly beggars and I had a great time. It was a good day to practice our landings with a stiff breeze blowing which meant you didn't want to go too far back on landing. Thankfully none of us did. We were joined by Les, a member of the Horsham club who I was introduced to at one of the recent Indoor meets. He was enjoying some combat down in the gulley with a number of foamy Wildthings.
Here Rob demonstrates his accurate landing skills as we had some dog walkers (yes walkers!!) that would not move from behind us and continued to exercise their dogs exactly where we wanted to land. No bloody consideration some people!!
I will be out as much as possible over the next few weeks. Maybe we might see some of you out and about enjoying some flying soon eh??????
