Geoff writes: another sunny, but windy, day. After some discussion with Martin and Mick, we wrote off Corndon, because of the wind, and decided to go to Moel y Faen, at the Horseshoe Pass, near Llangollen. We’d never been before, but Mick and Glyn, who also came out, know it well. It seems a nice site, with an old slate quarry in front to provide thermals, but the problem was that the wind wasn’t quite the right direction, and it was also a little strong. The result was pretty rough flights for most of us – including a very big collapse for me when I went a little too close and too low to the quarry – and not a brilliant day – though Glyn did fly for quite a while, as usual. But he’s an ex-skydiver!

The best bit was the tea, jam and scones in the cafe later. One of the nice things about being back in the UK!
