Cool, I see parking on Castle Hill (there's a chap with a glider on Google maps ) and then walk which way? East or West or drive in to the circular car park off the A249?
Monz, have you seen the Slopehunter website - that tells you where the slopes are:www.slopehunter.co.ukIt's a brave person who maidens a plane like that at Colley Hill, well done.
Yes indeed - for Thurnham, you would head east on the M26 and M20 (as I do, I live near Croydon) to the postcode Paul gives, and then up the lane and park on the side of the lane, then walk left/west a hundred yards to the slope.The directions given on the Slopehunter website are for people coming down the A249 from north London. But the entrance to the country park is not accessible from the south, so for us it is better to go to the postcode Paul gives, rather than parking in the country park. (Attachment Link)
For Allen, here is the Fox landing at Bopeep Hill the other day:
Over trousers...cold then?!
In order to move on from launch shots, for the next two years I will photograph nothing but walking shots.
Anyone up for doing a cross country along the cliffs between Dover and Folkestone tomorrow - conditions look perfect for it? The cliffs are about 500ft high so the lift will be stupendous. I'm going to check out the route out late this afternoon to see which would be the best section to try out first.
Mark and I maidened his lovely new ASG29 6m glider yesterday at Bopeep in rather low lift conditions.
I will be in DIY mode unfortunately ....next time hopefully. Great photos from Friday Eric!....congrats on the maiden Mark, was the hill busy yesterday?
Eric, I will be on for the coastal tour tomorrow. Where & when?Tony
