Conditions just right at Beeding

After weeks of less than good weather conditions, the wind was in our favour today. at Beeding Bowl.

Although offering good lift, the wind direction is critical on this slope and a few degrees off SW can make all the difference between a good day out and a great day out. The forecast was favorable however and Rob and I arrived to meet Nick, Robin and Bruce already there. Conditions were light however and although southwesterly certainly not the strength expected.

Happily this changed within 30 minutes and developed into a steady 15 - 20mph. south westerly.

Bob with his 60" Wild Thing, Paul with his Hawk and a Middle Phase joined us later.

Beeding's landing area isn't the best so most of us flew the ubiquitous and unbreakable Wild Things and with the gathering wind, Rob and I elected not to fly our flimsy Coyotes. 

New (ish) member Bruce was buddied to Rob on the club trainer for the first time over several flights during the afternoon and great progress made - we look forward to seeing you again soon Bruce!

We agreed that it was good to get out to the hill again and hope we will be able to fly one of the many great slopes in our area soon.
