      Ken Great day yesterday, accidently drifted into my first thermal achieving over a 1000ft ATO and first two Dyke top landings behind the paddock. Thanks to John and Jodie for your help with the carry back etc.

      Magic4fr Several of us (9 in all) went to Bossington thinking it would be to light at Wesbury or Bell. I believe that well over a dozen hangies at Westbury were skying out.To top it all it was to windy at Bossy and we didn't fly Bummer !!.I did manage an hour at Whitsands today though so all was not lost

      2Wrighty Anyone know if Matt and the two brothers who were doing their CP training at the Dyke yesterday got up? I went to Firle with JB for some less adventurous CP day 1 stuff!

    ouch - I wondered whether you were going to get up after your landing. no need for a gopro - just point the camera so it can see something!

      psuguru I spent a lot of time trying to find a modern air-band hand held transceiver that's EASA approved. Gave up in the end.

      andyh I seem to remember a "2011 goals" thread this time last year, can't find it now. what did you achieve?

      psuguru I managed a 1 hour flight and a top landing. I also got tow rated, but that wasn't a stated goal. I didn't do a third of the flying I expected because the wind clearly hadn't access to my calendar.
