Landing Briefing Notes

The weekend ahead (27th - 28th October)

Here we are again looking at the forecasted weather for this weekend.

It's going to be cold. Unlike last weekend when I was up on the slope in my T shirt this weekend it will struggle to get above 5 or 6 degrees. Get that warm weather gear out of storage.

Saturday 27th - Sunny intervals NNW wind 19 - 30mph (forecasted on top of Ditchling Beacon)

Sunday 28th - Sunny Intervals (more sunshine) 25 - 40mph (forecasted on top of Ditchling Beacon)

I am off to Wales on Sunday morning for a few days and hope to get out Sunday PM or sometime on Monday with a model. Our mate 'Almost Welsh Steve' has given me some slope advice on where to go and fly.

So, Saturday AM is the only real chance I will have to fly with you guys this weekend. Ian has mentioned going to Firle with the big, heavy gliders as the landing area is huge, parking should be good and only a stroll to the slope. See post above...….

Rob is planning to go to Ditchling Beacon 08:30 Sunday to help Nick Goodman and Paul Everett fly the club trainer.... if he can sort out the C of G !
