3 of us took a flight to the coast from Shebbear. Rob ran out of petrol, as usual, and Alistair got home first, because he flys a reflex wing. I particularly enjoyed the use of 2 strong thermals, near Holsworthy, which took me up to base without making much noise or using much fuel. Perhaps Rob might benefit from such actions in future, and save me money into the bargain. Sorry for the film quality. Head cam on the way
surely the fact that i was relying on you guys to let me know when my tank was half empty has something to do with not quite making it back eh Cous? Plus I need a bigger fuel tank, ie the same size as yours!!!
Just like to say it was a brilliant experience, especially catching and staying in a big thermal just after I took off after re-fuelling!!
