MIll Hill Saturday 9th Aug

Hi all,
Today we all decided to congregate on Mill Hill, (being the best SW slope around) at 12:30. From our regular group there was me (Rob), Paul, Tim and Clint, plus two new pals - Adam and Gavin.
Adam brought along his newly acquired SAS Apache which he and I tried to get working but didn't have the right tools on the day. Gavin came along to see Tim's new Ninja to see if he wanted to buy it. The wind was very strong (up to 25 mph), so we reverted to mouldies and foamies.
Paul flew his Typhoon with great skill (as ever) and then moved on to Tim's Guppy which we all had a go of and all agreed it is a great model. I flew my Ninja and Clint flew his M60 from down on the lower ridge where we joined some of Alan Head's pals for a bit of combat. The conditions were not the best. Both Adam and Gavin got to fly something of ours today to give them a taster of things to come.
Up the top of the hill we were joined by the Mill Hill regulars plus our mates Ralph Johnson and Mike Richards (of SRFC) and they mostly flew mouldies of various sizes and makes to great effect.
In all we had a brilliant 2 hours on the hill - many thanks to all who came long to join in.

Rob
