Northhill take 2
At the risk of sounding like a stuck record. We are still on for flying at north hill tonight.
There is a chance of some thunderstorms coming through so it could be a bit of a gamble. If in doubt call or text me on 07720 450 156 and I let you know what the current plan is.
If you are coming up, back sure you grab a bite to eat first as there isn’t going to be a BBQ tonight.
The brave few @ Northhill
Our Northhill on Monday night was of course a bit of a mess. It had just about stopped raining, but the minor issue of being 100 foot above the cloud base meant that flying was limited to Dave Coopers, park flyer.
Given the slim chance of actually flying I was quite impressed to see quite so many people up there, either we’re all hopeless optimist or we can sniff out a BBQ burger at 5 miles.
The plan is to attempt to reconvine next Monday 27th June for a second bash at it, but we are waiting for confirmation that we can use the field and that there aren’t any full size events on. I’ll email around when I have word.
BREAKING NEWS: Just had word that Monday 27th is good for a rerun (minus the burgers that is), lets hope the weather improves abit.
