Halesland,
Fantastic ridge site and many happy memories of flying for Gliding Schools staff.
Had a great week flying there in June 1984 as a helper from 616VGS. Sedberghs WB963,WJ306,WB958 and WB942. Boss was 'Tappo ( met brief from the weather map of the Daily Telegraph). Schools were No.622 Upavon and No. 643 Scampton. Pilots Bamford,Tarrant,Scott,Moss,Bass and Bagshaw. The cows had to be herded off the flying field before flying can remember landing in the cow-pats
Best flight was 2hrs 37mins on the ridge one evening in WB942 with another Sedbergh(where is he ? did you see him !! )
We got an Aldis signal from Tappo to land it was getting dark. The others had left for Locking. In the clubhouse was a lovely big hot urn of curry as we were freezing. After a few pints in the pub at the bottom of Halesland we made it to Locking in our yellow perils (Land -Rovers) and nightlife of Weston Super Mare. Happy Days
