I had to be in town this morning and as I was heading home around 11am my phone rang. It was Steve Giles and Jude, Steves partner.
They were at the Grey Mares tail and they wanted to go flying...just as well the glider was in my van I thought.
Another chance at evening flying. A plan was made. Singlie with options to move on.
So... got to Singlie and Rob said it was too west.
We then parked up at Witchie and the four of us (Rob, Derek, Andrew and myself) headed up and over to Rough Knowe.
The night before, Jamie claimed it was going to be flyable tomorrow evening. So after work I set of for Mountbenger, it was pretty windy and even seemed to be W/NW...
It has been a good number of weeks since any flying has seemed possible so I had to tune my melted brain back into action.
Of course..Sundhope heights, that would work so I texted Dave Lyal who was on route, we met up and spoke with Duncan the farmer " Aye nae bother"...grand.
After an over nighter in Edinburgh, Dominic Job and I set out dead o’clock on the Monday morning for the airport for a 3 hour flight to Venice.
After missing out on the flying opertunities during the week I was keen to get some airtime
The forecast was for westerly winds. Strongish but dropping during the evening. Some discussion on the group but no one really that keen on the conditions
