looked like a national nhpc holiday at model today

[gary stenhouse]

after leaving physio early to do a site visit at seaham hall it seemed rude not to call in at model. although i seemed to be racing against the seabreeze alll the way down.

it was nice to get there and finish my physio with a nice walk back up model and also entertain the crowds with some crap ground handling, i think it was the thermal gusts. apart from that it was chalenging out of 10 flights i only went down on 1 so not bad. it was the take off thermal 100m then sink which was stronger than the lift.

all that said and done a jolly nice day out, after who wants to go xc anyway?

Took off, got high, went to Cringle, Gary rang me, which switched the GPS off, then had a great days flying.
Must have been my lucky day! Andrew Maltby on his demo wing was over there with me, nice flying chasing one another's thermals

Where is the Mad Dog video Gary????

I didnt arrive until nearly 3.... at which point it had switched off pretty much...

You only went down once Gary?

Shows that you were not really trying.... remember your team position is up for grabs.....
