Long Mynd - Monday 13

Most people arrived Sunday, with some further 'stragglers' arriving throughout today. No noticeable dramas on most peoples journeys, although Matthew W and Tim P did pass a field with SEVEN tractors working in it. Strangely no one seemed very impressed with this find.
Wave at Long Mynd
First launch of the day, Mark and Stuart launched into weak wave ... and didn’t 
we hear about it.

Later Stuart was seen to be driving the retrieve winch with a cheeky grin!

Simon L and Mark C managed to fly everyone throughout the day – both site checks and flights for those without their own gliders. Amazingly by the end of the day Mark was only scoring a ‘low’ on the grumpy scale, despite not repeating the wave find of earlier.

Long flights were possible with the ridge working and thermals appearing in the afternoon. Paul S, Henry F, Roger A, Rowan S, Stuart P and Matthew Wi all managed significant flights.


Let’s hope the week continues as it began.
