Sunday Feb 22nd

Looks like the Orme again today, hefty breeze in Rhuddlan,not impossible for power but not comfortable

Not so many at the Orme today just myself the Rolls Royce duo (Richie and Roy) and Dave Sargent from R&DMFC and some more locals. Wind according to Richie's anomometer was around 23 mph but the lift was a little scatchy compared to yesterday nonetheless we had a good time the glass models coping better than the foamy jobs with conditions, Richie's 4metre job going particularly well. Dave Sargent was busy with his camera and at one stage was foced down the slope by Richie's low passes, hopefully some of the photies will get posted later A big thanks to R&R for helping me through my slope apprentiship

As Brian says, the lift was not as good as Saturday and not a wind direction I have flown in a lot. There was however lift to be had and the lightweight combat wings had a good time as did my Bedlam and a variety of gliders. Star of the day has to be Richie`s 4m job which flew superbly.










Dennis concentrates whilst Niel looks on.

That Ronabee was Ron's Black Magic, another from the stable of home design & build

Ricket Ron certainly churns um out, I do need to get back to the Rock, ego still dented from the mouldie going in but i must overcome my fears!!!!

What? You have an Ego? No way!!!!

It looks like you guys had a good session up there yesterday. I spent the day with my head stuck firmly in the clouds walking up Carnedd Llewelyn, across Carnedd Daffyd, and down Pen yr Ole Wen. It was wet, very windy, and cold, but bloody good fun!

Roll on Summer, and sloping without thermal gear on...

Cheers
Andy

Yes it will be nice to get up the Orme not looking like Nanook of the North but it sure beats staying at home. Talking to Ron yesterday he said he remembers Dave Sargent when he was just a corporal
