I think all would have to agree that the coastal flying has been very acceptable of late :-)
Last Tuesday 13/12/11 was no exception. After an enjoyable float at Merewether I decided to do a little advertising over the Hotel at Newcastle Beach. I boated around there for 30mins or so and landed uneventfully at the beach.
Col at work gave me a lift back to retrieve my car and whilst getting my pack up gear Donsta landed next to me and asked "where the hell did you take off to" in his usual friendly manner.

A few of us had an enjoyable flap last Monday 7/3/11. I happened to catch Wayne's landing and Claire's tandem on the Iphone. Not great quality but watchable, so here are the links.

Had a lovely fly on Sunday 18/04/2010. Took off at Strezzie and as my feet were leaving the ground I realized I had forgotten my camera. So after a quick buzz I landed at the monument and walked back to TO. Just as I was driving back to the bottom to park the car Kiero, Matt H, Rod and Russell all arrived. Mark was already up and the day was looking good.

Hi All,

Here is a link to a little vid I put together of our recent Stanwell Park trip

Thursday 25-02-2010 another tough day on the coast.

After launching from Strezzie and floating around for an hour or so I decided to land at Dixon Park. I heard that there was strong roof suck at Empire Park so thought it best to give it a wide berth ;-)

In the 16Kn ESE landing ontop at Dicko was a breeze.

The conditions seemed to get better and better and after a couple more flights and watching Conrad put my fun through its paces, it was time to wind down with some mates at the pub.

Two days in a row!!! tooo good to be true!!

After watching Kieran Black give his fun a workout above the restaurant I was keen for a fly myself.

At strezzie launch Gary P was eyeing out the conditions as well. It was blowing 18 to 23 Kn from the SE and I thought it wiser to go to Dixon Park. Gary needed a pit stop and decided Dixon Park was as good a place as any, off we went.

It wasn't quite a dawn expedition but the morning air was brilliant. The light was good and the whole thing was worthy of recording.

So Here t'is

For those of us fortunate enough to get away for some play, what a day!!!

Here is a bit of footage from the air and some landings I caught on camera

Hmmmmmm must be getting old, have resisted(not purposely) posting on this web site as the other one is so familiar. Suppose a pretty lame reason. So here goes.
Made up a little film clip of about 4 mins.
