We re met with a beautiful bright clear sky and a good 25mph Northerly wind when we arrived at Ditchling Beacon this morning. Tim, Rob, Scott, David, Les and me flew from our usual place but boy was it breezy. Les flew his Jet Provost PSS glider, which looked superb!
Tim had his latest M60 maidened successfully and then went on to fly his EPP Jart. The lift was booming with no problems staying up but it was a little more difficult with the landings.
Rob flew his Ninja and scott had his foamy together with David. Bit more of a struggle to get these into wind which by now was blowing 35mph +. David finished off his flying with a very good landing. Les also got some foamy flying in to add to his excellent morning.
I was surprised to see that a lot of the bushes and small tree's had been removed from the edge of the slope. I took advantage of their demise by having a blast with my M60 fully loaded up with ballast and stood right on the edge of the slope - It was brilliant!!!
Given the wind strength, somewhat cool temperatures and upwind conditions looking like rain, we called it a day just after 10.00. Thanks guys for the company and well done for the very good flying given the conditions.
