Landing Briefing Notes

Ringstead West Dorset.

Four days near Weymouth. Due to the unfavourable wind direction only got a few minutes of air time despite visiting three venues! Portland looked a little daunting with sheer cliffs into the sea with no realistic way of retrieving a wayward model. Maiden Fort looked interesting not least because it is the finest Iron Age fort in the country  it also  caters for most wind directions albeit not the one blowing when I was there! The little video was taken at the NT site overlooking Ringstead Bay. The local paragliders couldn`t get airbourne my Mijet with camber selected managed a couple of short scratching flights. `Floppy` would have been fine but didn`t have enough space to take it.
