Newcastle Hang Gliding Club

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
