Sat May 21 Ringstead

ah; so you were all at Milk!
Ringstead was on with a 10-15mph SSW which allowed myself & Derek with a bunch of local PG pilots to enjoy runs  to Lulworth in the east & Osminton Mills to the west! The air wasn't bumpy or crowded!
Ok, I only went as far as Durdle Door as the max hieght I had was only 1200ft asl, those who went further came back low!
As for going east I had 750ft asl at Hannas Ledge looking at the jump across Osmington Mills but chickened out!
The glide back to Ringstead was very informative for future flights!
[Read Nev's article on this coastal challenge]
Later in the day the air went S/SSE & the run to Durdle Door only gave me 400ft ato (900asl) & then it went very strange so the top landing beckoned!
It was one of the nicest days that I have ever had at Ringstead.
Brian & Ian arrived to late in the day to fly having been to Mere!
safe flying & above all enjoy it!
