time for the mystery guest round

 Can you guess who visited the mighty Thurnham on Saturday?
Here are some clues to help you....


he's used to bigger hills....



and prefered to use cr brakes for landing



it all ended well though



this shot makes it too easy

and our mystery guest is....






......Mr J P !
give yourself 10 slope soaring i-spy points if you guessed correctly










blue bell

started off lovely....then it was down hill all the way





beware- the mighty bush!

no mates

A lovely summer evening and some lonely flying on Wye Downs....





 the beauty of nature to keep one company....


 and a bloke who's out running



 just in case you need to check the wind direction




and then all of a sudden the sky was heaving with 67 avid fliers!



oh to be in England in the summer time with my love!

Holly Hill Havock

Cheers Liz for giving us the day off! Amazingly we also get a southerly air stream across the south east of England, so it's up to Holly early enough to make the most of the lift before the afternoon rain sets in.

An ex-Alan model returns to the hallowed turf, but in the ownership
of Martin this time round



Jason's lovely Algebra

first tree climb of the day





 a happy crowd






Lee's lovely Alex



Jason preps the Fish

just for the record; it might have been Alan's model, but it wasn't his piloting




Ray's retrieve



A bit of ear hole humping to relieve the stress of a lost model



found it!....but we're going to need a bigger stick!


sling shot method no.1...fail!




sling shot method no.2.....fail!
time to call the tree surgeon
