Wolstonbury Hill - A great Turnout !!

Yesterday saw us up on Wolstonbury Hill with a chilly E - ENE wind blowing. We started with Me, Rob, David and Clint but by the end we had been joined by Jim, Will, Jack & Scott.
Thanks guys for making the effort and for making it into a fun session on the slope.
I found conditions rough with the wind being roughed up by the bowl lip in front of us. Possibly should have moved back around the bowl but we were all set up and flying from just behind the fence. We had a vast array of models flying from Rob's new Moth, a couple of Ninja's, a couple of M60's, A wild thing and a Spectre to name but a few.
A warm welcome to Jim. Our latest member of the 'The Slope Soaring Sussex' club. Unfortunately, the wind was a little on the brisk side for Jim to get his models into the air. We also welcomed Will (a complete beginner to the slope who in about ten minutes of flying Davids Spectre with me holding the transmitter was away flying 'S' turns by himself with me standing alongside - Very well done Will. Good news is that Will has said he will be joining our club which means our current membership continues to go from strength to strength.
There was a lot of chatting, happy banter going round on the slope and we all seem to be enjoying ourselves which is what its all about!
See you up on the slopes or down at the field very soon.
