With the shortening of daylight hours, Ray's not sure if he can face the misery of another winter. In fact only today he was spotted shopping for an escape to the afterlife....

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!

chewing the cud
It's been a bit quiet round here of late, but last Thursday brought us the Autumn's first chilly session. For some reason nobody could fathom, more talking than flying was the order of the afternoon.
mowing the strip
Simon's recon' Fox......mmmmm Foxy!
old pro cg finger tip test on a windy hill side
looks about right
but with so little wind we'll wait for another day
paraglider and cow's arse
cow nip
approach from their blind spot....
WHOOOOSH!
'did I hear / feel / smell something?'
pro arrival!
Congrats to Eric on the maiden of his Typhoon! After over a year in gestation he was rewarded with a successful first flight of this rapid beastie and didn't even bother with flaps for the landing!
