Report from Portland West

   
An overcast day at the 'Rock' but a few hours of aviation with the added bonus of some thermals.
First hour was scratchy and light with a beach landing but retrieved by Dave and it was back to T.O.
Some more aviation joined by the local buzzard and 5 other Pilots.

Report from Portland West

  
     
A palindromic day and being pooped upon by a Herring Gull brought a little luck on Christmas Eve.
5 hopefuls turned up to Fraggle Rock and took off at the Spur, as it was quite west. Some sun appeared momentarily.
Between cloud and sea we frolicked, until we spotted approaching sea fog with a strong wind showing on the sea. So it was time for bigears and a beach landing. Then heading to the heights for a deserved cuppa.

Report from Bell Hill

   
Got to Bell approx 1030 hrs to see Pilots in the air, Hooray. It was a sunny day but cold and wet under foot.
So quickly got ready , done my checks and got airborne, no problem staying up, it was surprisingly lifty Thermals started to pop off and got stronger as the day went on allowing good height gains but inevitably the wind strengthened but if yo kept low you could carry on flying until the other Pilots started to bottom land and I found it a little difficult to get down, watched another Pilot take a few whoopsies before he landed safely.
I followed soon after keeping to the middle the field.
