Hi , Arrived at Butser West to join Mike and Simon V who had landed in the bowl to the South. Quite usual in light winds. Unfortunately he had sprained his ankle and was uncomfortable. I told him to climb the fence as he couldn't fly/walk down.
I too had landed in the bowl which is a right mess as I have mentioned before. It is covered with thistles and hawthorn and needs a good purge. I can't do this on my own so I am asking for volunteers. I would need to obtain Mike Atkinson's permission and it is likely he would ok this also chainsaws and maybe a burn. So subject to numbers stepping forward I will organise a party.
I managed to launch from the bowl and flew back to take-off and continued to fly with Mike for short thermic flights. Nigel Bevan joined us at this time . He launched and had a nice flight and nailed a top landing. Nigel from Guildford, a red ribbon pilot went home very pleased with himself. Well done.
An hot air ballon appeared and this was a sign to us that all was over.

Hi Don,
ReplyDeleteI'll be willing to help out and pull some more muscles on the Scrub Bash, so count me in! As soon as this ankle is better, of course.
