Sunday 24th November 2013 - I met up with Mark, Chris and Clive on the VR98 slope at the Bwlch. This is the north facing slope and today the wind was very light, but as with most of the slopes on this fantastic site, you only need a whiff of a breeze to get a plane in the air.
This slope has the shortest landing zone of all the six slopes with a road just behind the flying area, so landing is achieved by coming in low from the right hand side generally and coming in across the wind, tuning into the wind at the last minute. This can be a bit tricky at times and can take several attempts, but at least the ground is covered in very long, soft grass for when you need to dump the plane down unceremoniously.
In this video Clive is flying his Ceres and Chris his Toucan.
