S.E. thermic rock and roll to start but eventually got more pleasant even though it stayed quite S.E. until late afternoon. Good to see Red Ribbons building their hours Other Pilots doing well with new equipment. Lots of smiley faces.

Report from Ringstead

 
     
An early start as the forecast was to get strong. An altogether pleasant morning with a look round the corner and further for some. We all landed only for Grant to arrive and say 'Why is no-one flying'? It remained flyable for another hour but nobody took off save for HG and Mini wing.

Report from Ringstead

  
     
Another day at the coast. Light and just stay up-able. Turned out to be a bun fight on the ridge.
Please allow Pilots to build height on the ridge especially in light conditions. It used to be a "Gentleman Agreement" 2 on the ridge And if you can't make it 10 mins land and let someone else have a chance.

Report from White Horse

  
     
Got to the track and spotted one wing in the air, At T.O. it was coming up the hill but that was thermals , it was well off to the east.
Yet it remained flyable for most of the afternoon. Enjoyment was had by the dozen Pilots that made the effort.

Report from Ringstead

 
     
Very weird air on the cliffs to start. Top landed at T.O. to adjust harness. Back to the cliffs and normal play resumed.
All the locals and some visitors.

Report from White Horse

   
Arrived 1100hrs it was flyable straight away. Although the wind was SE the thermals beat the dynamic wind. Beware it doesn't always happen like that. Lots there for a working day and great enjoyment was had by all.
Desparately hot.

A good day if somewhat busy in the thermals. Lots of airtime and practise, good to see Red Ribbons playing about. Best height 1500' amsl.

Report from Bell Hill

   
Another interesting day at Bell. Forecast was to get strong and it did although some determined Pilots seemed to enjoy 'Gale Hanging' I watched Sean getting lower and decided he wasn't just playing so followed him down on speedbar then Big Ears to land after 50mins.
Tony seems to like flying with aircraft.I could not quite get them in shot together.

Tue 05 Jul 2022

Report from Bell Hill

   
Well it was rock & roll at one stage, some sharp edges to the thermals. Good to see Red Ribbons giving it ago managing very short XCs 3 fields behind. Even experienced Pilots choosing to Big Ear down to the bottom.
Some XCs by the 'Hounds' but no great distance.
