Landing Briefing Notes

Saturday, 28 May 2016

A pile of poo........

Steve, Ian and I had a great day flying today. As agreed we met up on Ditchling Beacon which was very misty after the local thunderstorm earlier but blowing on the hill which meant we didn't need to walk up the side of Wolstonbury. We met up with a few of the Mill Hill gang and enjoyed some good lift and watched the local thunder storms build into huge dark skies with thunder and lightning going of not far away. This was our excuse to make a dash for the pub. Some reasonable food at The Plough but a very nice glass of Harveys and we were off to Firle.
Up on top of Firle we were greeted to a nice breeze and no paragliders or hand gliders. They all seemed to be down at Bo Peep. Lots of space, lots of lift and a few good hours of really good fun.
One of the funniest moments to everyone else but not to me was when I did a superb landing right through the most runniest, stinkiest cow pat that you could ever find. It was everywhere. on me, all over my X-pro - just orible............
Well its meant to be lucky but it stank......................................
I had a really good day as did Steve and Ian. Roll on tomorrow.
