dorset quickie

 

A quick jaunt down to Dorset didn't throw up the opportunity

to fly any of the the classic sites...

....but with the vintage Miniphase holstered in the rucksack, and a smooth sea breeze

against a few metres of berm, it would have been rude not to!

 Landing over the back not an option (obvs).

it's coming!

 Slightly non-compliant weather conditions recently.... but it is warming up!

Let's look forward to some more sessions like this one from last summer...

it's looking floaty

Nimbus strains at the leash

it's caught scent of a thermal...

and she's off!

catching a bit of water ballast refreshment

 Tricky enough to film, let alone fly!!

Camber!

 

....one year on and I've still got sand up my ballast hole!

2020

 about two and a half years ago this happened....

Anyone else remember the summer?

be prepared

Out and about for a bit of alternative sightseeing over in Tilbury. It's always worth packing an Alula

because you just never know when you might come across a

3 metre high incline that faces the wind!

The wind varied between 20mph and nothing, but if you pick your moment

then a nice little zip along the berm could be had..... and sometimes not so nice-

the church of slope

A quick Sunday morning sermon, Psalm southerly 2 to 3, backing north westerly 6.... a silent prayer required when chucking off, uplifting miracles restore faith.

Here endeth the sermon!
