This time the wind was S to SSW at times and light, 8 - 10mph mostly for quite a while. I had a couple of quick flights on my BGD Wasp whilst waiting for my two students to arrive. There was little lift but I was able to put in a few soaring beats before inevitably heading for the bottom where I landed on the ledge above the cars.
First to arrive was Paul Cunningham with a knee strapped up due to a skiing injury that needs surgery in June! However it does not prevent him walking or running during takeoff or landing. Paul ended up having ten flights - five to the bottom and five slope landings within 10metres of a target (paraglider bag). On some of the flights he was semi-soaring when the wind picked up temporarily to 12-14mph S.
Gerry had six flights - all slope landings and three within 10m of target. Dermot Lagan turned up but sensibly decided not to fly as he was feeling the effect of some medication he was taking.
With the wind dying off towards the evening we called it a day at 6pm.
