Bell Hill - Monday 29th August

More breeze and more sunshine than forecast. Arrived just after 11am with Ian P., (new site). Parking space was at a premium. As expected, packed with PG but good to see several HG as well.
Breeze picked up not long after we arrived and PG were grounded for most of the day. The hangies enjoyed themselves with good height gains, (I got 2,200ft ATO on my 40min flight.) Lots of usable lift. Good to see Tony B. having a couple of long soaring flights.
Top field still in high crop which put me off. After watching a number of tricky landings I elected to land at the bottom and join Ian who totalled 3 flights. A very pleasant day.
(Other SSC pilots went to Westbury – what was it like there, chaps?)
