On Sat 13th June Scott and I had arranged to meet at Itford Hill as the wind looked a reasonable Westerly.
We both arrived at 08:30 and made our way up to the flying area. As we ascended the hill the wind was getting stronger, so things were looking good for flying.
I had arranged to meet Graham H in order to give him his first flying tuition and he actually caught us up as we were walking up the hill.
I brought the club Wildthing and the buddy transmitters, Scott brought his Middle Phase and SAS Mamba.
There was a charity walk going along the South Downs way which meant we had to fly more to the Northerly end of the hill to avoid the walkers.
Later we were joined by Robin A who brought his Salto
Here you can see the walkers in the background - they didn't cause us any issues and we were able to fly unobstructed most of the time.
I gave Graham H a number of very long sessions of tuition with the Wildthing and he flew remarkably well - I hardly had to intervene at all except for the landings.
The weather was bright but a bit cool in the very strong Westerly wind.
We all had a great morning's flying.
