a classic!

What a splendid weekend!, glorious sun, wind and lift. Thanks to Rob and Deryck for the fotos.

wrong mode, but still full marks for the new Alula

slack southerly


It's all jolly southerly, at times the wind follows the path of the path, quartering the hillside nicely. Oh well, we can sit and chew the cud, but seeing as we've bunked off work we may as well head over to Bald Nob and get some stick time in....




the senior sect decide to stay put



Easy Star comes in for a hard arrival and spills its guts
in the style of Mr Potato Head




Gary untucks his work shirt and doths a cap in an attempt to throw passers by off the scent



here his mouth forms the exact same shape as the Hyper's pod
just incase he fudges the hand catch




yup, smart casual...no bunking off going down over here




crossing the gap



checking us out



nonchalantly does it!
after all, how's he to know we've not booked this afternoon off





Mick wonders if anyone else is up for a bit of bare back rodeo

Holly Hill

It's come to the fore that there's a risk of Holly Hill being in radio overlap with a recently formed local flying club.

The members of the club have said they'll try to stick with even numbered frequencies on 35meg, so if you're flying at Holly then please use odd numbers only or 2.4 sets.

Thanks for your consideration.

grey but good



A jolly decent Saturday, it's a bit grey and some may say the lift is questionable but Goodwind thinks it good enough, so god bless slope soaring and all who partake in her!


the colour choice of summer's slope side chic




well......it's nearly 4 meters




a less senior moment for Alan





Gary- 'look there, behind that third cloud to the right is the meaning of life'
the others- 'ahhhh! now I am completeness, contentment and utter fulfillment!'
Ray- 'arse!'


milliseconds before going for a burton



why bother setting it up at home when you can fiddle
for hours on a cold, wet and windy hill side!





and after several millennia the egg did burst open
and out of it was born a creature endowed with
great skills of slope hunting, hat wearing and some other stuff too!












here's the symbiotic organism barrijim




'down a bit' thinks Jim
'right you are' thinks Barry






Simon kneels in praise of gyno-urinary infections




hmmmm nice fin to fuz junction Mr Smack




'go that way Candida!'

Friday's jolly lovely, Saturday afternoon has the devil up it, and the air is rougher than a wet look Pat Butcher.
