Sunday 20th June. N/NNE
Conditions at Combe were a light & thermic with the usual crowded sky. PGs were enjoying the conditions.
It appears so much more relaxing when you can scratch around & land on the slope whilst waiting for a thermal!
Eventually got off & enjoyed a pleasant hour exploring the whole ridge. Well it was my first flight at Combe!
Had a few moments amongst the Pgs where I had to be very alert-please remind me about the rules regarding turning & thermalling! (And we think Mercury gets busy!!!!)
Eventually sunk out-looked at the top landing but having seen a HG pilot overshoot it didn't look inviting as he negotiated PGs taking off!
Good safe bottom landing in the 'bean field' below takeoff-it's the one where you can see the chalk through the crop.
(de-rigg in the top right corner & its a 4 minute walk along a hidden track to the road!)
Anyone for Ringstead this week?
