A Prolonged Sled Ride
As I returned to the launch, I started to low. To my surprise, although unable to climb, I was able to soar back and forth along the tree line that bordered the bottom landing field, much to the annoyance of a couple that appeared to be making out in the corner of the field directly beneath me

With each bit of lift there was also an equal amount of opposing sink so to maximise my chances of staying up, I turned and slowed the glider when in lift, then in sink, I accelerated the glider and moved out of it as quickly as possible…

Stormy Skies Over the Devil's Dyke
As the rain passed my glider was back to a crisp white. The sky was now beautiful and clear and the wind had now significantly dropped. It looked like there was no chance of soaring; however, with my glider now on the A-frame and wiped down and dried, I decided on a quick top to bottom.

Windy Winching!
I had procrastinated about a trip to Suffolk as the conditions were forecast to be strong with precipitation added in for good measure.

The Fifty Fifty Bridle
I began tearing down the runway and heard a strange noise coming from the rear of the glider. Just as I was about to release and abort the launch it stopped. I later learned that my pod zip cord was trailing behind my glider and caught under one of the trolley wheels...
