Bumpy and cold at a blowy Firle....

out of the gloom

The autumn flying drought continues, but Eric and Simon report back from an age long past, an epoch which lasted all of about forty eight hours; The British Summer!


Baldock readies itself for a day of aero towing




 Fox's flat field flight fettle




 radio fettle




failed servo fettle





 the starting grid




 men looking up





Jef's sortie was a-ok





but his Minimoa looks rather mini all of a sudden





joiner envy




load test leads to haemorrhoid rupture




Simon aspires to be part of the infamous 'Ghost Squadron'

the longman long walk


we arrive to find nil wind



Paul lands out and undergoes an epic walk of shame. Back on the summit
he gives up, lays back and indulges in the day's third
session of testicular self examination




the hoards of paragliders at Firle evade enemy surveillance



 the sky's free for Simon




 off with the Luna





 onto the Skop'





 finishing with the twin Kestrels






 on approach






ready for a Longman stab 





 Mr Yakimoto from Okinawa is visiting for the day, coincidentally he also flies a Skorpian







meanwhile back at the car park, Simon is just about to mark his territory
when he notices something in the bushes





now some people may consider foamies are only worth urinating on, but not these chaps...





she's coming home with us; that is unless anyone
wants to claim it as a lost model !

work and weather

The glorious art of slope soaring has been rather curtailed of late in the Goodwind camp, rest assured that normal service will be resumed over the next week or so.....thank you for your patience.

sunday delivers


the ultimate bumper sticker


 good to see Jason and the Needle...it's on everyone's wish list!


Limit at the ready 



conditions are too blustery though



Pilatus at the ready



off she goes...



over the strip



a bit of colour in the gloom





to infinity and beyond!
