light winds in Wales

Allen's BBQ

It's that time of year.....not to be missed....

a fantastic spread was provided

and the weather was better than this photo suggests.

just in case you were wondering

cow eyes up some gel coat that he quite fancies a lick of

oh how Gary laughed as his Duo Discus almost got destroyed by bovine exuberance!

a flying shot no less!

A Storm approaches...

Eric has a new toy.....

arriving after a successful post maiden flight

the cows bow their heads in honour

it's so lovely we'll even forgive him the mortal sin of  red tape on a white plane!

a week in Wales

Cermaes Head, 5mph and an alarmingly sized bald patch

Race M pretending to go fast over Cardigan Island

Radian, chapel and mist on Foel-y Mwnt

2mph sea breeze, Ceibwr Bay 

struggling to keep the Radian dry 

cliff launch, Newport Bay 

dune soaring, Newport Sands

or maybe it's New South Wales?

Wales preview

light winds and a few misty days, but several flying sessions

were enjoyed in the wild Welsh air.....more to follow

Welsh reportage to follow soon.....

scratch built beast

Anticipation mounts as Simon embarks on the final leg of filling, spraying and installation.....

more from the 'peep

watching with interest, Eric's Habicht tries to remember what

'boot open' indicates in dogging circles

Simon yomps off to the patch fully loaded...that is other than the 2.5kg

of ballast which Paul has the honour of carrying

right then, let's get this show on road, or in the air....or something

the patch

men play

view to the east

turn through 180 and you can see the sea!

just then, Captain Birdseye's merkin blows in off the ocean

Simon therefore deduces that the sea breeze

is kicking in and installs a vario in anticipation of scratchy slope lift

meanwhile Mark prepares to test his reactions against the speed

of electricity and promptly blows three fingers off his right hand

Eric tries (and fails) to shield our innocent viewers from the sight

of naked slope flesh

'spare us some change mate?'

Marks makes a successful rear of slope landing

despite the Jim inspired, Statler and Waldorf style

commentary from everyone else

'spare us some change mate?'

'now watch what happens to her dress when I tip it the other way'

fat chance today

another flying thing

in perfect alignment with the horizon

Blazing Bopeep

phenomenal Friday

An outstandingly awesome day on the 'Peep last Friday.

Footage and photos to follow once we've all recovered from the sunstroke.
