    Day trip to the seaside

    Warming up for the European championships in two weeks time in Catalunya I flew my hang glider to Bridlington from near Hathersage Derbyshire on sunday. This involved squeezing under some controlled airspace for the new airport at doncaster.

    took off at 2:30, landed at 5.00pm. Once I set off time to get there was 2 hours 15 minutes.
    Missed the footie, but one look at the glumb looking blokes on the beach told me the result!
    ...and my wife was only 4 mins from my landing place with the car when I phoned in!
    A perfect day out!

    sounds like a bloody good trip to the seaside, wish my journeys were like that instead of the usual, "i need the toilet", "are we nearly there yet" chants from the kids in the back seat!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

      Was it a planned landing at Bridlington? Seems you had a fantastic thermal ride or was it katabatic?

        Your into gliders, if you want to see how good the thermals are going to be on ony day the best forecast is now the RASP/Blipmap available [URL="http://rasp.inn.leedsmet.ac.uk/RASPtable.html"]here[/URL]
        Yellows and oranges mean strong, blues weak or none. The model seems very good indeed with even effects from cloud streeting and mountain wave showing up.

        The flight was planned, in as much as after kathleen had landed I got on the glider and said can I fly to the coast? and she said if you want I'll follow you in the car!

          I'm glad you had backup.
          Seems like a long walk back. ;)
