Excellent news Ant! Hope to be there.

Well done Ant!
I have marked the dates in my diary and will give my usual digs a phone call this evening. I look forward to seeing all of you once again this year.

One week to go for the Scale Bash.

I will post closer to the day which site we will be using.

Please note :- No ducted fans or up & go Jetec type sustainers, only fes/folding props allowed. TIA.

Just out of interest, what's the problem with up and go sustainers Ant?

I'll bring the tray to Sherlowe if you're going?

It’s the “up & go Jetec ducted fans” not the up & go folding prop ones, like Florian Schambecks.

In a nutshell…..ducted fans and non folding props.

10-12mph NW for Sundays Comp which means we’ll use The Gate slope, just a few hundred yards from the Mermaid Pond site (Blake Mere) on Google Earth for those that have never flown this slope.
Parking for about 10 cars by The Gate and the same over the rise alongside the drystone wall.

Ant - sorry I won't be able to make it tomorrow with my current medical issues.
Hope to see you at Sherlowe the following weekend.

Get well soon, see you next weekend.

Two perfect days made for a most enjoyable weekend for the Scale Bash. Flying from The Gate slope from 8:30 to 5:30 both days culminating in chocolate brownie’s courtesy of Roger’s daughter.

The spoils went to :-

Best Modern. Roger Brown. DG 500 Elan.

Best Vintage. Brian Sharp. Olympia 419.

It was slope scale nirvana last weekend! All the ingredients - a great hill with oodles of lift, super-friendly folk, a huge variety of gliders to ogle and all set within picturesque countryside.

Many thanks to Ant and the LMMGA folk for making this happen. I’ll share photos when I’ve fixed my camera…

Sunday afternoon…
