Very Vindy Vault

We returned to Vault hoping for some more flying and what a different day.  it was windy enough on arrival and got windier by the time we rigged.  Launching on the T2 and having to pull the bar in the whole time confirmed that it was somewhat breezier than Keith Sutherlands wind meter measured.

In fact at height it was 30mph and a bit although very smooth with gentle lift everywhere.  The hardest bit was getting down again which took some time as the air was so bouyant, still I made it in the end.  a bit of lunch and a lot of chat and we gave it another go mid afternoon with Big grey leading the way.  Conditions were a bit lighter at 25 mph and the lift just as smooth. we had a fun time zooming around the place before calling it a day.

On the way out i met Paul h and Gay j  who called in on their way back from up country and was talked into returning to the hill with the ASKA. Amazingly by now the wind had dropped further in fact so much that it was on the light side for the ASKA!  Still after a quick flight Paul had a play with it and that was enough to convince him he wanted one so watch out on the hill for a very fast Paul  on a very small glider coming your way soon.
