Newcastle Hang Gliding Club

Had a great afternoon flying yesterday. When I got to DP Rick Duncan was there testing a few C4s. Seabreeze was saying south but it was pretty square on.

2 passes after launch and I was on my way to Strezi. Rounded the car park at fence height and then there was abundant lift. The lift was not as good as I would have expected from the white caps on the ocean but I think the wind was slowly moving to the east. There was nice bubbles coming through though and in the C4 and pulling the rope on I lost very little height on my laps between Strezi and Merewether.

Dustan and Adman joined me at Merewether and even did a bit of thermaling. Shane Duncan and Mark Kenny were there also and Wayne was doing wing overs. Scott B, Dawson, JOD and  Katherin as well. Just a great coastal day.

Dustan got some good shots which he emailed me. You can see them here.

After about 3 hours I landed back where I took off, not too well but I did it.
