Low cloud and some drizzle in the morning at home. Mark Piggott reported flyable conditions at Dungiven just after 11 am. After speaking to Colin Dowey on the 'phone we headed there.
Colin had already arrived when I got there but nobody was flying. I soon discovered why - wind gusting to 21mph. Mark had flown earlier but was now packing up. Former hang glider and paraglider pilot Brian Dawson had dropped by and we had a bit of a catch up since I haven't seen him in a long time. Seems like he might be persuaded to come back into the sport.
John Wallace with a paramotor pilot friend and my CPN student Gerry Johnston arrived and we waited for conditions to ease. Mark had left, soon followed by Colin and the paramotor pilot. After a couple of hours with no sign of the wind subsiding the rest of us called it a day.
