Conditions really turning on. Colins Hook 2 Debut
The last days, Saturday and Sunday, for our Devon and Somerset Condors group really started to come good. We flew to the pass on the morning flight , some of us making it back to Piedrahita. Bruno Crué on his Mantra flew back and then onto Salamanca….a bit of an epic! In the afternoon both Simon and Paul got over the pass, Simon getting around 40km. Sunday was an excellent day, but just a short morning flight then off to the airport to pick up our regular guests for over a decade, Bill and Liz Samson. Also Colin Huges, who will be with us for much of the season now.
Colin made is first flight on his new Niviuk Hook 2 in yesterays evening flight, and today , in lovely conditions we made a flight to wards Barco. Colin got over half way, and Bill and Liz reached the goal. The Hook really impresses me. So easy to launch. As Colin is a little challenged in the leg department I usually help him off, and the Hook seem to do most of the work for us!
