Scratching about in 3mph on the local Slope

There was pretty much zippo wind, a few thermal flurries and lots of sink coming through. It was good fun scratching around and a real challenge to stay airborne for any length of time at all.

After the slope lift had all but gone and the odd thermal flurry was all that was left, i tried some scratching for lift, and some landings. Inverted.

First of Spring Slope Soaring

Posted on March 21, 2012 by slopeflyer

Not a lot wind but some nice thermals and it was the first day of Spring 2012. There were some full size gliders out, the sun was shining and the birds singing.

A perfect day on the slope was had..
