A Very Good Friday

Four of us out flying this morning to the West of Ditchling Beacon.
Mark, Jim, Ian and me. I had expected more people out flying today as this was going to be the only decent day of the whole Easter weekend but the guys flying today seemed very happy. Ian and Jim continued to make good improvements with there flying today and Mark was having fun with his Phase 6 and a mouldy.
I flew my Aresti and the old lady Dragon with my Mobius camera mounted on the wing.

We were joined by some full sized chugging there way along the hill. I really enjoyed my Good Friday. Thanks to the guys who came along.

Easter Weekend

Looking ahead at my forthcoming four days off the weather looks pants !!!!
The only reasonable day will be tomorrow (Good Friday). The weather is set to be sunny (am) and a 20+ mph NNW wind at 9.00am but reducing as the morning progresses. This wind direction doesn't give us many options but the easiest one would be to fly at Ditchling Beacon but at the car park go West (to your left) and not across the road as usual.
I aim to be there at 9.00am to take advantage of the higher wind speed and a less busy car park.
Why don't we use this session to practice those 'A' badges?
Please let me know if you intend to come along just in case there are any last minute changes.
Grab this day opportunity if you do want to fly this weekend as the weather is then set to be typical Bank Holiday crap ..........................................
Hopefully see a good crowd up there tomorrow morning?
