flat lander's flight

Deryck strikes out to explore the county of Essex, and finds an easterly hill that works! Facing out to the North Sea, Walton on the Naze bears a striking resemblance to Minster.

The conditions are a bit on the marginal side, but Deryck reports that the narrow lift band was easily exploited by his floater, and the landing zone was a winner.

any chance of launching from the tower?

    Hi Russ

    I'm not too clued up on sites in Essex, it's pretty flat round there. Don't guys fly the coast up near Corton? (I think is the name) and I think there's also Sharpen Hoe Clappers (again not sure if that's correct mane or not)
    which is somewhere near Essex.

    I'm not much help other than that I'm afraid, Essex ain't much cop for slope soaring as far as I can tell.

    Good luck
