Up and Down and a bit around .....

Promising if a little showery forecast saw us head to Chapel Porth meeting up with Mark H (Honiton) on site and also finding Big g already there.

It all looked good and we head to launch with the Hangies. By the time we are rigged the  wind is dropping and Wyn D is thinking of getting his Pg down.......  Mark h takes off and climbs in light lift on his rigid and I join him on the T2 C.  Mark lands wind comes in and i climb to 1500' in between the showers.  Finding a route through between the rain takes me out to sea and around the back of the cloud depositing moisture at launch where i can wait until it clears, perfect.


We wait for the wind to return and Mark complains .......

Wind drops again I land and Wyn takes off on his Para, another flight on the T2 C with him and Kaz joins in on her Para. Wind picks up all land and big G takes off on his Hanger, all change again.  Rain comes in wind gets even stronger we shelter Big G goes home, rain stops wind disappears then returns from the south we wait.



........that his glider is not in shot!

Kaz derigs , wind fills in comes on Mark and myself enjoy a mother flight before practicing spot landings at the back, Mark wins.......  Mark picks up his new Ozone Pod harness and heads home.

Interesting day and one of those where you really needed to keep an eye on things to stay safe and make the most of it.

Quote of the day " never seen such a big one"
