We all learn by our mistakes, let just hope they are low down and not to fast. i.e. downwind. so none of us gets hurt, well not seriously. One of the good things with the tow is the amount of landings you do. I must average 5-6 each time I'm out. ...

Well done Ken, I suppose you will be on the downs every northerly day? Look for ward to seeing you there in the summer. I have not been back that way since I have passed, due mainly to the wind. It will be great to fly there properly now I have a ...

Love the commentary especially when you realized that you were running short, glad you were not hurt though, Finnished my CP now so hopefully will catch up on a hill soon.

Some? I was working up to a shed-load. Definately this was a case where local knowledge would have helped a lot. Darren was just a bit early on drifting backwards and it seems to me he got into descending air. I suspect that the hedge wasn't a ...
