Er, sorry Ralph. I can see Big L. from where I live, but Tountinna is well and truly below my horizon. :lol:
Sorry about that!

Hope you all have a good day, I’d guess you’ll be doing a combination of thermal and dynamic flying as I see it the wind speeds are forecast as low.

Good luck, and remember to post plenty of picies/video! :wink:

Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.

what a great day's flying! warm sunshine, lots of thermal activity and not a drop of rain all day. like i said earlier, flying in light winds brings its own challenges and rewards. a most enjoyable day, good company, good banter and plenty of good cheer.

thanks to everyone who took part, hope ye enjoyed it as much as i did. looking forward to next year's event already.
i'll get some photos up as soon as i can.

Nice to meet ye all again lads. Good Day out that. Pity my own visit there was so short... but some flyin is better than no flyin eh?
Weather was fab too.
Well done Gerry.

At least we walk towards our crashes and not run screaming from them ;)
