Alpine day on Blencathra

[Davehorne]

Deep snow made for a slog up Blease and an interesting range of launch styles on Monday. But those who dared were rewarded with a spectacular soaring flight

but dave you know those cars you go in and they still have seat covers on and those resreraunts with plastic on the sheets.

well is this what you have turned into a nice new wing yet your always on the old one. come on lets sea you out there on that wing after all it has to get a dragging some time and when better than in the snow.

But there wasn't enough wind for a good dragging on Monday Gary. I'm waiting for those spring thermals before I break out the new wing, that way I can get all my adrenaline in one shot AND a good dragging off a thermic launch, all at the same time. Anyway, I still seem to be staying up on the old wing.

A very happy new year to one and all and see you out there soon
