Mercury Friday 8th


Arrived at 12.30 to find a few PGs and a few hangers, one PG in the air. Quickly rigged and stood on launch, it was that annoying wind speed that was right for both disciplines.

Waited an hour then launched, seemingly at the same time as a few PGs so a bit of weaving about. Only lasted 10 mins and they got the better of me (thanks to Ian for the retrive). Just as an observation there is not enough looking before turning going on - not exaggerating - I'm seeing your hands go down to execute the turn before your head turns to look.

Second flight was better as the wind had picked up and had a pleasant 45 mins at height, some thermic activity but it was slightly off to the SE so a bit rough.

Weekend looks good!
