Packed Weekend at the Orme for A4 Skyhawk Mass PSS Fly-In

What else is there to do in your Premier Inn Llandudno Junction Hotel room after sharing a bed with Lenny Henry, with all the line learning that it brings with it – and he snores – than to write up the first day of the PSS fly in up on the Tank Tracks? I got

Wind Blows on the Lleyn for PSSA

Finally the wind blew and lift was good at the PSSA event on the Lleyn Peninsula over the wekend of the 13th and 14th August 2016. The June event was marred by zero lift, so to be welcome with a Westerly 10 to 20mph smooth sea breeze overlooking Hell’s Mouth was a bonus. We arrived

New A4 Skyhawk Flies at the Mermaid Pool

A maiden flight is always apprehensive particularly in a strong wind. Last Sunday, however, we were blessed with a strong enough wind at the Mermaid to be confident, but not too strong so as to fear the worst. The A4 Skyhawk was finished and it was time to test it.  It is part of the

Dodge the Hang Gliders up Rushup Edge

When I looked at the forecast on XC Weather like you do, then BBC Weather, which is also very helpful, the wind was pointing in a Northerly direction and forecast to blow at around 12mph. So the question was – where to fly? Keith and I had a debate and opted for Rushup Edge. We

The Bwlch PSS Weekend (May 2016)

Never having visited the famous Bwlch South Wales slopes, I was quite eager to see what the wild Welsh hills had to offer your keen slope soarer with some scale models. As it is a 4 hour drive from the North, I took Friday off to travel down, and booked into a B&B near Merthyr
