The flight itself was very straightforward with weak climbs and smooth glides allowing a gentle downwind bimble over the flatlands from our take off at Wether Fell in the Yorkshire dales. It was fun to fly with other gliders all the way - something we rarely get to do in Scottish flying.
I fear I may have done less than my share of the work in our gaggle of four that stuck together until the last few km (ok, ok I pimped horrendously for at least half the flight). This was partly due to the performance advantage and partly due to not being sure of the airspace and needing to stick with others. But it was also because I have done very little in the way of flatland gaggle flying and wanted to see how it worked. The pilot I landed with said later, "I much prefer flying on my own". Haha!
touch down in North Cave in the same field as Dean C
all the lines ... there seem to be a few missing from this glider?
