(Really slacked in keeping up last year, I’ll try again)
Weather, Nov – Dec offered no chance of flying anywhere within a days drive. Finally, a ray of hope came (enough to go have a look) came and Greg and I headed for Tekoa. Given the light forecast I opted for the paraglider.
Cloud base was half way down the hill. On top was in the 35-40 mph.
Greg Ritchie and I gave mid point a look.15-20 mph. Greg grabbed his speed wing & I my paraglider. It was good for about 15 min getting a 100' or so over, then I was parked. 1/2 bar then full bar, then going backwards. Was a able to get a touch S and land while full bar pulling a B line stall as to not get drug. Worked out. Greg got his workout in with the speed wing with the semi thermic gusty conditions. Welcome 2014 flying season!
