| Flight details: | Arrived at 8.15am! to rig my glider so that i would have time to rig Ians new beast with him and give it a test fly or two before the day got going, was VERY good to start off with but a bit windier than forecast and the sky filled in on the glide towards caburn, soared for a bit once it had overdeveloped but ended up just ridge soaring so landed and waited for it to get sunny again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf2LWuRs9yw |
