norbertflyer Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Wind looking very south for the Beacon on Wednesday. Might be better for Bache, or Gyrn Moelfre. RASP not particularly thermic, but hopeful. Hook will be fine for getting some hours in (low winds), but a good s/h ENC would be better. I'll keep my eyes open.

norbertflyer Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 A bostin afternoon in the thermals, right up to 5pm. 1hr32m & 1hr38m. Nearly gave up after 2 attempted launches in the nil wind, but glad it didn't get to me. Ice pack on the right knee, sorted! Richard ps - new Airking prop worked well.

norbertflyer Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Cracking shot Jock. Glad you both had some good flights. It was fairly thermic mid afternoon but not fantastic as I couldn't get to base, as I have done earlier in the year. Gained about 900ft at a maximum climb and that took quite a while (cage drags 15/20 glide points away and possibly 2 or 3 min sink points). I'll have to wait until they get the Malvern chairlift operating, before I'll be able to get up Castle Moreton! Richard ps - should be taking aerial pics soon as it's getting warmer to allow operating the camera without gloves..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbertflyer Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Good shot of the Castle Moreton car park Mike. Is that the new reserve arrangement in front, or just the PG setup? Have a good one today, I'm still nursing the knees after 4 long runs down my field on Wednesday. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
