Report from the Jurassic Coast

   
A sunny day on the coast with more than 9 Pilots turning up to this small (unofficial) Site.
Airtime was had by everyone. Especial congrats to Michele G for his flights and top landings.
Good man Kevin K for lending his wing to a German PG Pilot who was doing the SW Coast Path walk and he was certainly grateful for the airtime.

Report from White Horse

  
     
A great day at Whitehorse but a hard slog along the track Quite a few Pilots throughout the day enjoying blowing the cobwebs away and thermalling upwards and exploring the full length of the ridge some latecomers had a fly.

Report form Kimmeridge

  
     
Well what a good decision to go to haunts of old times. Wind on the hill so I launched soon to be joined by the usual suspects. Congratulations to Jacek for his first flight there. T'was lifty with the orographic and thermals were in there usual trigger spots. Sometimes scratchy, sometimes in the cloud, not great height but when there was it was a case of move forward and get lower. At one point we all landed halfway down the slope due to low cloud and managed to get airborne again. Everyone behaved very well in the conditions. Even the latecomers had a flight

Report from Ringstead

   
A lovely day at Ringers. It was a little "lumpy" and gusty on take off but lots of Pilots managed.
I counted 16 wings in the air and several on the ground waiting to get airborne.
