Voltij

My Voltij is coming out to play on a trip to Lands End soon.  Just thought I'd remind myself what to do with it...

Welsh Winter League 2 - 10/11

  • 10 to 15mph on the Wrecker, with a hint of easterly.  
  • Some variability but generally pretty stable throughout the 12 rounds.  
  • Flying two up with crow through. 
  • Great to see Mark Southall back.
  • Lots of pumping to gain height, none of which was particularly effective but it was great fun!
  • When the wind shifted more to the east I finished up flying all French at Base B, which seemed to work pretty well but it's of course impossible to know what time you'd have had using a more orthodox technique.  There was a definite kick there though.
  • The standard of flying was really high.  
  • Particular mention has to be made of Clayton.  If we had a best newcomer award he'd be a shoo-in. And not just because he's the only newcomer!
  • All in all one of those days where you struggle to get out of bed but end up so glad that you made the effort.
