HANG GLIDING
Again this year there have been no entries from Wessex members, at least from those whose primary club is listed in the National XC league as the Wessex.
Tony Stephens, a Wessex member whose primary club is the Sky Surfers, finished 3rd in the NXCL, and Rob Dowdell, a Wessex member whose primary club is the Joint Services, finished 5th.
