Patrick's new toy.....

Photo from Rowan. Yes, Patrick finally bought a glider! What will we discuss at the pub now?!


More from Thursday

Lech sent some more photos, commenting that the autumnal views were spectacular with Alan Langlands managing to stay up for over half an hour in weak thermals coming off the ridge. Later in the afternoon some of the T21 syndicate with the help from Alan Chubb de-rigged BTH putting her away for winter.
 Bye bye Beth...see you in 2017.
 Discus owners in the sun!
 The ridge in autumn light...

Winter Mid-week Flying.

About a dozen members flew yesterday, tempted out by sunshine and a forecast indicating the ridge might work. Actually the wind did not live up to its forecast, so most flights were about 6 minutes, a few around 10 minutes and Alan L. achieved 33 minutes. Patrick tried out his recently acquired Discus, see below. We did 19 launches, and everyone enjoyed the day.
