Friday 20th April - Knowing I finish work early on a Friday, Big Phil phoned and asked if I fancied hitting the Meio after work as he was having withdrawal symptoms having not flown slope for a while.
He met me at home, loaded his car with my back pack and models and 30 minutes later we'd pulled into the lay-by at the Meio.
On the top of the hill the wind was blowing about 15mph as we launched Wildthings and Weasels, Speedo's and Banana's into the grey sky. But that sky was gradually clearing, the sun beginning to warm up the ground and both the wind and thermals picked up. The wind picked up to 23mph, gusting 30 and the lift was huge.
Phil had made an attachment to attach his camcorder to a hard hat and so experimented with that, and here is the result.
