highway code refresher

and you think you've had a bad day on the slope!!

a classic Thurnham evening

A classic summer evening up on the mighty Thurnham.

All scepticism over wind direction is laid to rest when

(at about 5pm) and we are blessed with a decent sou'wester...

scalies at the ready....good 'clocking on / clocking off' air

space time share between us and the paragliders made

for a stress free evening

It's a 90s nostalgia fest.
Pre-launch, Eric inserts something into his bottom.

We're still trying ascertain exactly what is was,
and why he was putting it there.

even the Goodwind camera lens crap was able to make it for the evening

Ray spots a well used handkerchief and immediately sets off

on a full blown homophobic diatribe.

 combine harvester and ASH26

The farmer was good enough to kick off several monster thermals festooned with
so many gulls, it made life difficult keeping an eye on one's model.

ahhhhh! Life is good!!

cardboard scalies aus der fatherland.....

Granau Baby....expect dramatic loss of performance
(and structural integrity) in damp conditions

 

SG38 cruises down the street and then on through the arched window
(same heads up as per the GB re; moisture) 

meanwhile in Germany....

was ist das?

 

varifocal ad hits its target audience (sad, middle aged tossers)

Purbeck!

Off on a jolly down near the sea, light and crossed winds but still plenty

of entertainment to be had....

Many thanks to Terry and Rick for all the hard work organising the event.

barely legal

Eric's hot on Simon's heels, except he misheard and thought

it was a 'Slope Babies' photo competition. The flip side is that (given

the location) there's every likelihood these two could be entered

into the 'Slope Grandmothers' contest too!

spotted in Maidstone

Overtaken by a very large scalie (probably 1:1 size or thereabouts) on the M20 coastbound, just north of Maidstone this morning...

I would hazard a guess that it's flown using an on-board organic electro-impulse,

 first person view control system that requires recharging once every 24hrs
