I was at the field today between 14:00 & 15:00 all on my own , good flying too. There is a dead sheep along the fence line towards the gate from the pits, I saw the farmer so reported this to her. I hope no one had plans for a BBQ Smile .

Whilst driving through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California last week, I pulled into a layby for a rest, when a model glider went sailing past. We were at 10,000 feet and the bloke flying it was at the side of the road. He went up there flying most days as his local flying field was 200 miles away!! The weather allows him to fly nearly all year round apart from a little snow in the winter,on average about 16 foot!! He lands on the roadway when its quiet. Rolling Eyes
