Pete Bowyer post about flying at Spring hill yesterday:-

“…In reality the topless gliders are pretty amazing…” “…You’d never convert me though don’t you worry.…”

Ed whacked this together from our little outing to Pig on Saturday.

First from the NSW State titles in Manilla…

Trent, Dave, Carl, Andrew and Ryan headed out to Binalong on a cool 20ish degree day with a very light WSW breeze and an inversion to end all inversions. Not the best day for getting high and flying far but Binalong certainly shows huge potential when the warmer weather returns.

The hill boasts many TO options and has a small, sharp and exposed valley running up the face left the by what seems to have been a landslide many years ago. This trigger was working even in very light cooler conditions and is looking to be extremely promising.

The hill has a fantastic bombout paddock as Carl showed us and has XC opportunities heading ENE to Crookwell and really in any direction you want to go.

One point to note is that access to the hill is limited to the relatively rough track to the top of the hill, not to mention you could rollerblade down if you really wanted to. Doesn’t make sense, well no not really – you’ll have to make the trip one day soon to find out for yourself and then enjoy the little beauty that is Binalong!!! See you on top soon…

Learning to tow a couple of years under the instruction of Scott Barrett at the annual Easter Flying at Tumut.

After looking through some of my old hard disks I’ve rediscovered these gems from the past.

Looks like our Philippines correspondent, Chop, will be in the air after all…

Hey Guys,

When there’s no launch in the jungle you just employ a few locals and away you go! Took them about 2 hours and cost 600 Pesos to clear an area to launch  (about AU$7.50) and they carried our paragliders out for us! Phil Robbo could use a few of these guys at Spring. Simon arrived last night and we have already had few local beers.

Cheers,

Chop
