Nick W, Tony C, Scot and I bravely ascended the west face of Itford this morning to find that the now North Westerly breeze wasn't going to work on the usual mainly west facing slope.
Undeterred a gentle 1/4 mile walk to the East was the bowl which worked perfectly in the NW wind.
Scot was flying his Mamba and ME 163 Tony, the Wildthing, Nick another Mamba and an All moving wing Lidl. I had my Aggressor and Sierra.
The sun shone and the company good and the flying great. Unfortunately the lift dropped away, as forecast after lunch however it was good to be back on the hill and enjoy a mornings flying.
Sounds like you had a great mornings flying. The weather was fantastic today the sun was really warm however it looked like it was a bit chilly on top of the hill. You are all wrapped up. I’m sorry I couldn’t get there. Good to get the stick on the transmitter moving again. Hope to see you all soon.
ReplyDeleteI went up itford after lunch , wind picked up again and NW corner was working really well . Managed some stick time with a Phase 6 found some good thermals in with the stiff NW breeze which swing more N later on . Only came down when tea ran out .
ReplyDeleteThe best mornings flying that I have had in many months. Great flying conditions with excellent company of my fellow club members. Looking forward very much to our next outing.
