Fun at the lake

October 27th, 2009

Check out Barnsie’s blog. One to add to your regular net trawl.

Andrew and I had a real fun flight out at the lake on Sunday. Andrew relives the very memorable flight:

So after missing out on a fly on Saturday, I decided to ignore the part of the weather report that said ’showers turning to rain’ and just saw the bit that said moderate SE in the afternoon…

Trent got in the air first to show me that it was possible. And we found a spot on the ridge which wasn’t raining. It was heaps of fun.

There was lots of lift out over the lake, which was a good thing coz the lower cloud base had dropped below ridge height making flying in the ridge lift it’s self a no go. We had some awesome flying around bands of wispy lower cloud as they came through.

In the end we had to wind down and land at the rest stop below us coz it was raining back at Geary’s so we couldn’t get back. Oh and it was starting to rain to the north too, so yeah, but it was flight I’m going to remember for a long while.

We got soaked to the bone packing up. Thanks to Nick that came and got us.
