Too much easterly, not enough wind and thermals in the wrong place all led to Mother Nature apologising with this rainbow..
Sunday 29th October
Claire and Pete in Aboyne
Video & Pictures from mine and Claire’s trip to Aboyne. Flew and soared 3 days out of 6, on the middle day Aboyne had 10 diamond height claims and on the final day several pilots flew to Skye and back, some of them twice, we didn’t push quite that high and couldn’t get that far!
Smoke on – GO!
On saturday (8th) people did the usual fun gliding stuff but then we stopped so these guys could do their thing at Highclere, afterwards, by way of a thank you we got a nice little flyover with smoke on!
1st Weekend of Autumn
Liz reports “Saturday 1 Sept – Liz and Peter were privileged and delighted to fly with wartime pilots Jim Dearlove, who flew the Mosquito and Dennis Fricker, who flew Wellingtons & Ansons. Paul converted to the K8, Alex proved that if Liz didn’t set the task, he could get round and lots of nice flying was had by all.”
On Sunday a front pushed high cloud over us and damped the soaring opportunities, although we had several soaring flights, at the other end of the scale Matt from SUGC did many many cable break practice flights, all well flown. Oh and Laurie brought cake!
