Lovely floaty thermic day at a new site again! Too bad a booked social engagement meant I had to stay at the hill AND land early. Good time was had though ;)

Fabulous! First time i spotted you ease up on the brakes, must be all that speed wing flying ;-)

Nice cloud street and great footage on the Hero Reech....looks like a nice site!

See you on a hill soon.

Ooh - just seen it.. Shit - that's very scary!

[jezeroo]

@raveydv That's what I thought at first Dave - but no... follow the thread...

@Reechforthesky Sounds like a plan... I'll keep an eye on XCWeather & RASP. A bit of a haul from here (Christchurch) might be a bit late. Is it open site or do I need temp membership (like Derbyshire SC)?

[Reechforthesky]

@jezeroo Might be flyable at Rhosilli on Saturday!

@Reechforthesky Sheesh! Yep - now you've mentioned it can see the barrel is wound down and daylight visible! I'm sure they're over-engineered enough to give a big safety factor and at least the rubber band is in place on that riser to keep the lines on... unlike the one on the C! At least you spotted it in time.

To change the subject - loved the Rhossili video. Looks like a lovely site... I'll have to check it out. Cheers mate!

Haha, twisted riser - seen, done it myself many times! Nice vid!

@jezeroo Completely open maillon on the right B riser......

[Reechforthesky]

@jezeroo How about completely open maillon on the right B riser...........
