Friday (2nd Apr) looking positive - where to go?

Post by mjcp »

Friday is looking positive (dry and a consistent breeze at sociable hours) for the 1st flying day after recent rule changes and I have a day pass from home! So, where to go?

South coast forecast NE 14/15 kts gusting +5 kts

Butser or Ditchling ?

Any other suggestions? Heading west, forecast is a couple of kts lower, but still NE. Options along the M4 corridor, A303, south coast for NE?

Best slope is BoPeep on the South Downs.

Don't you use Slopehunter?...

....or Watership Down at Kingsclere is not too far from you, I used to fly there when living in Berkshire.

Ended up on Ditchling beacon. Only one other flyer there and he was finishing up so had the slope to myself!

Maidened my Alpina CS clone and enjoyed the sun!

Yes, I use slope hunter, but it is getting on a bit in terms of age of notes and it’s quite south coast focused.
