davo23 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 What's the deal with Cleeve tomorrow morning? Are people going down fairly early? I'm gonna be driving down so if anyone needs/wants a lift then give me a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlandtony Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Either chaos has got a computer problem or alzheimers lol. Sadly the wind was so bad at Hoylake that it blew the sea in. Should have gone to Ainsdale guys, at times the wind was 24 gust to 31. The 48 miles I flew was insane. Maybe next time I can go for the record.

Chaos Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Whatdaya mean Moi Alzheimers problems? I'm just barking, or as some people say as mad as a box of Frogs ! Sorry to hear all didn't go to plan Tony, that's some gusts to deal with flying a race kite. Great day a Cleeve today, but once again I forgot to put on Sun Cream = Tom operationblade2, was getting some great airs with his PL Synergy and Clive and Dave got some respectable air time. A good day was had, flying at Cleeve. Now, where did I put that after sun . . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a good days flying at Cleeve, Dave and Clive were getting some good flying time and Airs on their frenzies, but Tom aka 'operationblade2' was getting some great Airs in and out of buggy with his PL Synergy.

damian9 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 It was a great day yesterday but I yet again, I burned my face. I couldn't look at the mirror this morning. And the best thing is that people at work keep asking me - Where did you get this sunburn? It was raining all day yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) A good days flying at Cleeve, wind was in the worst direction for lumpiness and strong channels of wind; still I had a good session on my 2.3 and 3m. Even a new kite didn’t calm the winds. Greg came on leaps and bounds (with no leaping or bouncing) in his buggy learning to loop the kite out of turns and Dave R had some good long Airs on Ryan’s 12m Phantom. The wind died down in the latter part of the day but the graph (below) doesn’t take into account the gusts in the channels. Well worth the early(ish) start.
