Looks like a brilliant event.
Disappointed to have missed it.
Full marks to Seymore for the XC.

Unfortunately I'm away Morgy.
That will be a nice XC.
Strap a sleeping bag and bivvy or hammock to your motor then hitch a lift back.
I have a hammock for you to borrow if you want?
I've ordered a new Miniplane frame £££££££
Speak soon

Hi Barry,
I land the Nucleon on 0 or +2 setting you have much better flare authority this way. Advice I had from Michel is land faster the less headwind there is and if landing downwind too as you convert all the forward speed into flare (flare is a bit more physical). He regularly lands full fast downwind - not tried it myself yet
I tried it at the Nationals on the bowling pin task under Michels instruction at trim half way out downwind. I was amased how sweet the landing was - I even hit some pins on my rush in to terra firma.
At full slow I find the Nucleon a bit mushy to land, the synth also, as they both have long brake travel versus the fusion which is better to land full slow (shorter travel).
I think of it as a child's slide. Down the steep bit (hands up - fast) start the flat bit of the slide at 10ft by bringing hands smoothly but quickly to nipple level then bury the brakes at the last minute to land softly on your feet. The more energy you bring into the landing (speed) the better.
Hold your nerve and enjoy the ground rush
See you soon.

What a cracking day.
It was as smooth as silk over the coast.
Heading back from Barry's was a slog - on full bar for most of the way with max speed over ground of 20mph. I landed with under 1L left.
Great pictures as always Ben.
Until next time....

Hi,
I'm planning a trip to Jeddah to visit family in July and I'd really like to fly there.
I'm told Jeddah Aviation Club is in charge of such things.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to arrange flying and where to hire equipment.
Thanks
Luke

I use the met office forecast and the ballooning forecast.
They have been the most reliable for me.
-
Have arranged to leave work early at 0730
Will be with you at Seymore's at 0830
The best I can do!

Will be with you guys by 10:00am at the latest Thursday morning

Just been reviewing the headcam footage - Morgy and Seymore's reaction to my SWEET entrance is quite a giggle.
Barry your car was safe mate - was going for an Audi spot landing
Bloody Nuc - glide could be better
I'm off to Italy on Saturday for some Thermalling (will show you how its done when I get back Morgy )
Look forward to meeting you Phil.
See you all soon
PS. hope you sort the Bailey out soon Seymore.
