I flew down to a new field Mark and Barry have found just South of Chichester, then back along the coast to Worthing, before coming back inland and finding a few smooth thermals as the wind dropped right off. 3 hrs flying and fuel left for one more. 7 days in a row I have been flying, mostly short hops between working.

Excellent Seymore :D

I've had 2 one hour flights in the last 4 days but nice to know the weather has been playing ball over in Blighty and a good bit of flying's being done.

Cheers,

Alan

Hi seymor

I think you will find thats elmer beach :roll::wink::wink:

I left you at the littlehamptom river only took me 30mins to get back and smooth all the way home.

I had a good look at the new field from the air and seems to be fine but we will have to have some no fly zones i think..

Good find guys

I agree - had a good weeks flying....

I flew yesterday from Exmoor to a friends field in Ladram Bay on the South Devon coast - what a beautiful place. Nice easy take off and cross downwind - only took an hour at 42mph full trim.

2 miles off Ladram Bay the engine broke again - loads of vibration, 30% power..... :x

I pulled the trimmers in and glided / thermalled the rest.

Gonna get the engine looked at tonight by Ted.

Michel is convinced I'm cursed I rekon!

Shortly after I landed another PPG was overhead - looked like a red Synthesis.....?

I'm free after work for some flying now the clocks have changed :D

Dude you are cursed for sure!!! no one crashes into a hill side and has two engines break in the space of a month. And not to mention the scarff incident I am still pulling fluff out of my motor :cry::wink:

Morgy / Steve,

Looking forward to flying with you again soon - keen to start . Hopefully I'll get my engine back soon, it's going back to Parajet this week. Shame not to fly back with you guys on Friday, glad the problem with the engine happened while I was over Membury not half an hour later though...
