| Comments | :: | There were a few wings at Whitewool when I arrived in the early afternoon with baby and wife for company. Headed on to Mercury where there was 'not a soul!' Got permission from Farmer to fly (as I was the first there)and took to the air, albeit nervously, wondering whether I had missed something like the site was closed, or the it was unsafe or something of the sort which would explain its emptiness. Flew for an hour in variable lift, but the grey sky and ominous clouds weren't very cheerful, a few thermals wandered through but nothing to speak of. Saw a few wings flying at Whitewool and so headed over there and met a very nice gent (Shipo) who briefed me on the site and left me to it. Managed two beats and then the wind dropped and stayed that way. Still was a nice day out and I got my feet off the ground. |
