Deeside Gliding Club,

[Picture hoiked as it was annoyingly wide]

Flight Details

2 notable XC's from yesterday, one at 316km one at 516km, no fuel used.
the 516km was flown at 117kph (handicapped)

Why limit yourself with a donkey up front? 30 odd quid an hour to fly a superb sailplane ! in a superb place (one of the best wave sites in the world) not flying gliders and living here is a disgraceful waste of the outrageously pretty scenery and fantastic wave.

The lift can be pretty strong,

This (also from yesterday) shows 1500+ fpm on the VSI.

You owe it to yourself to try it !
