On arrival wind was 25mph on T.O. one lone PG on the cliffs and 4 HGs rigging, Oh No! After 90 mins Dale A came in and landed in the back field (empty of beasts). Many more Pilots arriving, and some measuring the wind at 15-26mph. It slowly started to ease and off went the boys on Enzos and Seb on his Boom Boom.
We headed over but some were going to the beach. The cliffs were definetly up & down with some rotor. 20 mins and I watched more heading to the beach so I anded on the old T.O. I waited and was joined by Mark S from Avon and after teaching him the 'Dark Arts', we launched in to very strange conditions. I recognised the wind had shifted to SSE and suffered a 40% collapse on the nearside to cliffs, one pump and it was out. Time to head back, Mark & I landed below T.O.
Not the most thrilling of days but the KGs enjoyed themselves.

Interesting skies and at times full bar required. Good to see Pilots practising "Big Ears" and landing at appropriate times.
I had submitted CANP and rightly so as when I was in the air I took a call from the Booking Cell to warn of 6+ Helicopters intending to be flying close to cliffs after 1100hrs. One left playing on the ridge on a mini-wing when we left.

Shame I had to stay local for Dentist, looked like others had a great time at Bell.
At least the sun was shining.

Lots of wings in the air some new some old, bit like the Pilots.
Some chose Marleycombe or Swallowcliffe to avoid the crowds.
Lots of happy Pilots.

Robin W testing his spanking Delta 4, Angus throwing his Racer about and good to see Seb taking pleasure in throwing his Boomerang around the sky. Derek tempting fate soooo low almost touching the beach but scratching back up. So many happy smiley faces.
