29 / 01 / 2007 :: Liddington

Direction :: North
Comments :: I took a visiting friend out flying for the morning and we found Liddington at it's worst. Too light, off to the north, grey and drizzling. Not even groundhandlable. Top to bottom and a damp wing. All you weekday workers can feel smug for once. 3 other fools duped into coming along by the forecast.

Comments :: Lovely day at Westbury (makes a pleasant change from Milk, which seems to be the only site I've flown for the last 3 months). Started very light with lots of traffic at low level (always a bit worrying). Picked up towards the end of the day. Allowing for more seperation, fantastic day.

Comments :: A ok day for January but light winds and more cloud cover than hoped was a shame, fun all the same. Jamie is developing a new PG sport based on that playground favorit Conkers! Just wish he had told me I was playing it!

25 / 01 / 2007 :: WHH

Name :: Al Wilson
Email :: al _at_ mrog.co.uk
Date :: 25 / 01 / 2007
Direction :: North
Comments :: Light and off to the east when I arrived, groundhandled for a while, then it picked up to be nicely soarable just before Gerrit, Jon, and Paul L arrived. Lovely winter's day with gentle thermals up to a best of 500' ato. Just right for Jon and I to get used to new harnesses. The big bad wolf is back - this time in female form - but she didn't kick us off, just asked us not to come back. Combe will open soon and make it irrelevant :D Still soarable when we left around 3.

29 / 12 / 2006 :: Milk

Name :: Robert Ager
Email :: robertager _at_ ash-studios.co.uk
Date :: 29 / 12 / 2006
Direction :: South West
Comments :: Started off a bit claggy but cleared and quite a nice day was had by all. Wind was always off to the South, so much so, that we almost managed to make Tan. The lift was a bit patchy and I think quite a few of us walked off the Christmas dinners with a walk up (even Mr Thomas!!)Wind increased and backed to Southwest and the Hangies managed to get some quality time in. I have put a video of the day on my website - www.ash-studios.co.uk/html_pages/page02.htm The broadband link is quite big but streams. Don't know what happened to the sound.

Direction :: South
Comments :: Turned up late to see Richard B, Jamie and John Terry in the air. Walked off some of the Christmas food and had a nice 15 mins flying. Then provided the cabaret by tripping on landing and getting dragged along the hill to Jamie's great amusement!
