Chris, Martin, Mike and I went up L.H this morning. I gathered from the experienced pilots comments that finding a thermal was challenging and conditions lumpy although the weather was clear with a light NW breeze. It was good to see Martin back flying today and I just managed to capture his launch before his… Read More »
Pete has posted a couple of cracking photos of flying as the sun is setting up at Little Haldon. I have chosen one to head up our home page. Check it out. There are also some more photos of the club’s evening flying on our Gallery page

Several good flight were made, reaching a good height in the thermals although areas of sink… Read More »
I had a very close encounter with a deer racing across the B??? road between the duel carriageway and L.H this morning. I just managed to accelerate enough that it passed the boot by a very short margin. When they go, there is virtually no time to react so I felt very lucky. I wonder… Read More »
A further update from Chris. Its looking impressive Chris, I don’t think that you would want to use my patio as a grid reference though – unless you are building a banana. I look forward to your Maiden this summer It’s been awhile since my last post, but still building but once the wings come… Read More »
