Pie and Peas Sept 08

Sorry its abit late writing the post, pie and peas event yet again and then again its nearly here again. Set off again fully loaded kids and caravan on tow.

I was still buzzing from my flight yesterday so it was all good. First problem we had as soon as we got up there and entering the place i got the van and the car stuck in mud.

All the usual candidates were there all set up, engines reving and wind socks flitting in the wind.

It was a bit windy when we got there and a bit out of my comfort zone, so no rush set the van up and went for a chat and assess tomorrows weather.

I got up early Sunday morning, and people were already getting setup to fly, I pre flight checked all my equipment as i do before every flight wether or not it was the day before I flew everything needs to be checked.

I watched a few lads go on there new dudek wings and thinking its my birthday soon and thats what im going to buy a new wing Mel said she would give me some money towards its, Gabes got one so has Paul Kilburn…gota keep up.

Well all setup and ready to go, first reverse launch and i was off down the valley. The flight was great 1hr 30mins it was a bit bumpy but as soon as you got above the glider ridge thinks seem to smooth out, just under 3 litres of fuel used and the motor just sounded great. We came home early monday as an event for the walkers arrived and seem to take over the whole of the ridge.

A great weekend i feel a dudek synth on the way….
