Sutton Bank Thursday 20th Nov 08

We awoke to very fresh westery winds giving promise to some challenging flights. G.Marshall had joined us. Unfortunately our K21 went u/s on us as the front canopy strut developed a crack preventing the canopy closing properly. Not to be beaten we obtained use of a club K21 and the DG-1000 giving some members another challenge. The day went well giving everybody another enjoyable day. The weather for the next two days was not not very promising for ridge flying so we packed up Friday returning before being possibly snowed in. In all the week was a great success with many wanting another expedition, to be planned as soon as possible.
