Just knew it!

I knew it was too good to last more than a couple of days - back to wind and rain again today!

Two days in a row!

Flew with Mark Piggott and Dermot Lagan at Big Collin whilst Danny Young and Al McMaster flew Knockagh today. Collin conditions were very variable with next to no wind on top then blowing 10-12mph intermittently. Flights were short and mainly slope landing after fighting with - and losing - small thermals that drifted up the face at times. Nevertheless more welcome airtime on top of yesterdays excellent conditions.

More airtime at last

A good day's flying at Agnew's Hill on Saturday 27th February. Good soaring with light thermals with eight other UHPC pilots. The hill was the wettest I have seen and the air so cold that after 20-30mins most of us were top landing to renew acquaintance with our fingers - despite two pairs of gloves in my case. Even a couple of additional latecomers as the wind eased got decent soaring flights. There was the usual exchange of banter in the landing area before we headed home.
