Sunday morning. 8am. pretty poor visibility in Lockerbie but reports from up the country of better conditions so a plan started together on the group.
Tinto? Dungavel? Cacra? BlackKnowe Head? Mountbenger? Foulshiels? or Wichieknowe?
North West wind in spring
Wingbeat to the Moorfoots brings
Flying glad hearts sing
Witchie today turned out to be more frustrating than satisfying
There has been debate in Scotland for several years about the possibility of organising a winch operation and a couple of years ago Sean took the bull by the horns at the SHPF AGM and agreed to lead this.....little did he know how much time it would take!!! Obviously the first thing required is for a group of pilots to be capable of being winch into the air on a line..and since Scotland has many many hills it is not one of the main requirements to fly here, in fact some would say why winching!!
The weather this year has left a lot to be desired from a paragliding point of view. Especially for weekend pilots. It was great to hear that Tommy, Barry and Dave had flown this week but When would it be MY TURN?
Saturday was starting to look like it might be the first opportunity to fly in 2016! FFS it's the end of February!! Light (maybe too light) NE or ENE so Bridgend was the place to go.
