LLanbedr Expedition Monday 24th October
Well I’m sure you will all be happy to hear that we had another fantstic day in the Welsh mountains. We pulled off the tow into 12 knot wave lift, flew all over the place for 3 hours, though couldn’t get above 6,500 feet. It took 30 minutes to get down, we tried flying at 100 knots, still going up at 4 knots, climbed at 5 knots with the airbrakes open, eventually pushed forward into the sink of the upwind wave, came down fairly rapidly after that, and landed on the 2.2 KM long runway. Might have to straighten the vario needles if this carries on.
Mike
