Ted and Dave where already setup and flying when I arrived and Steve Clark arrived shortly after. Steve and Ted seemed to be getting the best of the flying, Ted with his Elan and Steve with his 3 meter moldie.

The main problem on sunday was of course light wind, at under 5kt’s westly it could barely keep the floaters up. My new shinny Alulu (my only servicable model!) seem to fair quite well. Ted’s wild thing managed about the best, but I suspect that had more to do with sheer stubbornness.

Up on the beacon on at 1:30 it looked promising my *cough* ted’s 2 meter floater seemed to be going nicely right up to the point when Ted and Dave turned up and killed my lift. I’m not bitter or anything.

Ted optimistic as ever was sporting his new SAS wild thing that he picked up at the sale on Tuesday. Dave brought a 40 year old glider, having pointed out to him that’s quite a bit older than me dave pointed out it’s in better nick than me, can’t argue with that.

Being on a short pass I was all but packed up my the time that John Hills arrived up on the slope, didn’t manage to stay long enough to see him fly.

Jemery gave his skyrider fox it’s maiden flight. Seemed to go well, but the formation flying with stuart’s fox might need a little work.

Only one bin bag required this afternoon and that was for my mini x-blade, which had a mid air with a tree. Well a bin bag is a bit of an over statement, it’s got a bit of impact damage on the leading edge of the port wing. Should be fixable. It’s been added to the increasing stock of U/S models in the shed.
