Hirwaun Common Winter Soaring in South Wales

I met up with Ian for some light wind slope soaring at Hirwaun Common in South Wales.

The first video is of my Ascot which performs well in light conditions. Drop a bit of thermalling flap and she will float around all day.

Here is Ian's Nan shadow that really does float on nothing. The wind was around 3 - 4 mph but directly onto the slope.

Hiraun Common is located directly above the Tower Colliary at Rhigos, South Wales. The slope is mega with a huge landing area behind for those perfectly controlled landings. Big thanks to Steve (A470 Soaring) for first showing me this site.
