Stormy Skies Over the Devil's Dyke
After resisting pressure to launch before the storm, my glider gets a good wash in the rain before the storm clears and I embark on a top to bottom. Miles then follows on his paraglider and rewards Nicos and myself with a classic landing!

Scratchy Downwind Uphill Landing
After waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the wind to come on to the hill, I take-off and quickly realise it's going to be a challenge to stay up. What followed was an uphill downwind landing as I try my best not to land in the crop and deal with the wind now coming more from the South.

Devils Dyke
Video highlights of my marred flight at the Devil's Dyke that ended with a bit of a bump (and some snapped aluminium). Unfortunately, the battery on the Sanyo Xacti video camera let me down and didn't capture my landing/crash. Still, any landing that you can walk away from is said to be a good one - and I walked away without a scratch - I was just a little gutted for having made such a stupid mistake by landing downwind of the earthworks - of course there was going to be rotor there!!!

Personal Video Log
This video captures most of my flights of the day during the club competition. I didn't managed to get away and I didn't really connect with any lift, so these are simple tows up and glides back down again!

A Rough Day at the Devils Dyke
A pretty quiet day at the Devils Dyke. I'm one of the first to launch and the early part of the flight I hit a few rough spots of air. Eventually the lift drops off and I end up in the bottom landing field.
