Day 4.  Cold feet.

With prospect of strong winds in the morning we arrived at the airfield before eight to rig the Duo and get an early launch. Obviously lots of other people had the same idea and the hangar was being emptied as we drove in. When the wave bars are sat just behind Morven, it’s amazing how quickly you can throw a Duo Discus together.

Paul Haliday was inserted in to the front seat and we launched just after nine. Releasing at 3000ft we were immediately established in the wave with the vario pegged on the stop. At 10,000ft the lift started to drop off and it was then a slow climb to 13,500ft.

 

After topping out we decided to head up wind and cross over the next two wave bars and eventually ended up over Corgarth castle. At this point the cold was starting to set in and we decided to head for home.

More later when the rest of the team have finished flying.

Colin.
