23rd April Newhaven Ridge Run

Jumbo Nick, Bruno the sword, Gnasher and Ricky Brown pants.

Simple flight really Newhaven to Brighton and back, I say simple however I am not that keen on teaching here.

Views are great but the areas to land are some what limited and due care to safety is a big requirement.

Never get blown back, avoid landing in the sea, also many areas of bottom landing are very rocky and will tear not only the glider but also the body.

Other than that it is very easy place to fly.

Today I take Bruno and Nick to Brighton and back on follow Rob, observe, acquire knowledge.

11th April 2017 Devils Dyke, spring thermals easy climbs

A few easy flights at Devils Dyke today NNW to NW climbs easy, later air was more sharp and required more plot reaction, then off to the pub with the gang to chill and eat.

13th March 2017 Devils Dyke

Not a bad event today at Devils Dyke, easy climbs and easy air over the back and out front. Air light winds just thermic air from midday onwards.

Flying today a Gin Sprint 3 Medium and Small Gin Sprint 3, notice the blue balls in image.

These are not standard issue, what are your views do you like them or hate them?
