So, after doing a few things around the house, the weather improved, the sun came out, and I went to the archery club to try out my new bow. It is a lot better than the old one, but I’m not absolutely sure it is the right one yet. I’ll try it again in the next few days, and if not, it’s a trip back to the shop to get a more expensive one.
No-one, as far as I know, flew on the Mynd today. It was very top end for HGs too, and I didn’t see any in the air, or at the parking as I drove past, and I didn’t want to fly on my own.

Friday was flyable for jellyfish as well as HG’s too!. Den had a good time on his boomer, whilst I fully laden with ballast still got blown back very rapidly in a frightening fashion after launch. The sky was superb, it’s a case of “if only” I had done a decent launch from lower down when it wasn’t howling, and 100K was possible I believe, as the weather was travelling East quite nicely. Too much time spent faffing on launch putting in a goal declaration and then watching Den, should have done it earlier.
Best of luck for later this week, should be some decent XC’s in there somewhere – I’m away camping and not flying, so I can only wish you all luck.
