Calm and foggy morning. Things had cleared a bit by lunchtime but Phil Barron reported no wind at Dungiven although light westerly forecast.
I went out to Big Collin to take a look at the paraglider that Kirsty had donated to the UHPC. It is an Advance Epsilon 3 28 - weight range 90-107kgs all up. It was manufactured in 2001 but is in exceptionally good condition for its age. DHV 1-2 rated - see http://www.dhv.de/db1/source/technictestreport2.php?item=2888&lang=en. Photo shows a similar wing.
I only had time to lay the glider out and do a couple of inflations using the risers before a hurried repack as light drizzle arrived. Hope to get a closer look tomorrow or Saturday.
