TSun, 10 May 200913:00Aeros Target 16Mendlesham00:05Few thermals which I played in for a short while, landing 12 steps from spot.76423:09
TSun, 10 May 200912:00Aeros Target 16Mendlesham00:20Weak link broke at 400ft, possibly due to large thermal that I floated around in making a height gain to 649 in the end.64923:04

HTue, 09 Dec 200800:00Aeros Target 16Devil's Dyke00:09Arrived and no-one else there. Walked to Truleigh and watched a kestrel. Came back to launch to see Nick. Cloud was low, felt very strong. Nick launched, then shortly later I did. It was very rough, so I stayed away from the hill. Ended up bottom landing and am please to report that landing was perfect (no bent aluminium this time).020:56
HSat, 06 Dec 200812:30Aeros Target 16Devil's Dyke00:22Took off from the bowl (where I landed previously). Conditions dropped off more, ended up bottom landing (Flared too early, landed heavily bending my first upright slightly). Home for a new one.9820:47
HSat, 06 Dec 200810:00Aeros Target 16Devil's Dyke00:35Took off from paddock. Soared main ridge, crossed Pylons topping height up when I could. Almost got to Truleigh, but decided not because there were many paragliders at that end. Came back to the Dyke, belly top-landed in a cowpat.10820:25
HWed, 12 Nov 200815:00Aeros Target 16Devil's Dyke00:12Almost same as previous flight, good bottom landing, but busy with paragliders.3619:50
HWed, 12 Nov 200811:00Aeros Target 16Devil's Dyke00:13(Video) very busy with paragliders, hard to stay up, had to do emergency manoeuvres to avoid a paraglider. Bottom landed.3919:38
