Mark Piggott was out early and got a flight but later reported that he had to use speedbar to stop getting blown over the back. There was a good turnout of pilots including Richard Stewart, Mickey Fleming, Uel Glendinning, Ken McConnell, Dermot Lagan, Martin Bates, Tony Conway, Alastair McMaster and, as most were leaving, Ronald Chudziak. Wind was far too strong and gusty for safe paragliding.
Ronald decided to free-fly his paramotor wing as it had more speed. He had a couple of successful soaring flights although suffering minor tip deflations a couple of times.
Having shoved my BGD Wasp into the stuffsack after flying at Dungiven yesterday, I repacked the Wasp properly at the bottom of the hill. Ronald had bottom landing by then and was packing up as I left.
