Feshie Diary

Sat 19th September

2009-09-23T14:24:00.000-07:00

Saturday was mainly dry with a few showers.

Nick had everyone enthused by the wave first thing but it all started to change and clag in after 3 launches or so.

Alister and I took off in the Puchacz just before a 20 minute heavy downpour but managed to soar the bowl and fly south as the weather passed to clear skies.

25th July

The day started off grey and overcast but gaps developed over the afternoon and it turned into a good thermal day.

Pete Smith, Philip and I later went down to Dalwhinne, Laggan beach and over the Monadhliath mountains towards Inverness.

Lots of club flying with a good turnout.

Saturday 4th July

I was duty tug pilot so no chance to fly S6.

High cloud kept coming and going through the day which also turned the thermals on and off.

FB, the Vega and KER flew plus lots of trial lessons.

Sunday 7th June

2009-06-07T09:13:00.000-07:00

A cold northly wind with very unstable air.. showery with longer downpours.

Trevor hoped to do a trip to Easterton and Aboyne but that was before it started raining !

I ended up in the north bowl joining Ray in the Puch.

Sam however had a good day with his second solo flight. No soaring this time though.

Sam Newmark's First Solo

2009-06-06T12:00:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Sam who went solo on the 31st May - the day before his 17th birthday!

Not only did he soar but stayed up for over an hour to get his first Bronze leg.
Super landing too.

Sam is a tuba player and John Whyte just happened to have a tuba with him that day and so thought it fitting to play him a wee rendition of "Those Magnificent Men .."

I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep this up, but thought that an irregular diary of flying at Feshie might be interesting to look back on and perhaps a way for folk to pickup bit of news about the weekend.

If its possible with this software to share blog entries with others who are willing to write a few lines that would be great but failing that we could sign contributions in the post.

Now I must go and upload some photos of last weekend ...
