Saturday 7th January 2006, Bryncaws.

Arrived at the hill and there were already a few people there, whon unfortunately I did not get to speak to.

Got to the top just as the last person was flying down, wind was 3mph from SE. Flew two top to bottoms with Nick, it all helps to keep the cobwebs away!

Thanks again to Nick for introducing me to another site.

Thursday 13 October, Rhiw Wen.

Me up with Nick at about 15:00 on the hill, it was blowing about 20 -25mph so we sat it out for a while. wind dropped enough for us to launch just after 16:00. I flew around for about 15mins before ending up at the bottom. After a hard walk back I flew again for another 15mins before running out of height.

all in all a good afternoons flying, which wouldnt have happened if it wasnt for Nick helping me to get those first few minutes after my CP

Sunday 9th october. (not paragliding)

Went to Colerne for a 35min aerobatic training sortie. Went up in a Grob G115E Tutor in a lightish breeze just off the main runway 26, climbing past base at 4000ft to reach a clear spot at 6000ft to the north of the M4. flew about 30mins of aerobatics, barrel rolls, stall turns, split s, flick rolls and a few others. returned to Colerne for an easy landing and end to a successful flight.
