back of thee wrecker will fly a SE    without the crazy walk and if it goes SSE   its better 

[MikeE]

When we walked over the other week there were quite nice tracks left by the farmers quad. Walking would have been easy, if it wasn't for the wind on that day.

Sadly I cannot come to this one, but on the plus side it's because I'm going to La Muela.

[wookman]

We will have to see what the call is Andy.

Good luck for your trip to Espanol Mike.

Have fun, and say hello to the Spanish guys from me.

Forecast looks ok to me, so I guess we should call this ON!

Has anyone got some timing gear/A frames to bring?

Meet at 9:30a.m.

[jwest532]

I can bring timing gear and A frames 

[Les]

Have a good one guys

Shame this one wasn't in Yorkshire as I'm at the cottage near Whitby for a week.

I’ll bring our timing gear as a backup

[Mark P]

Unfortunately I can't make it tomorrow.

Ankle is playing up and a day yomping across the Bwlch will do it more harm than good.

Have a good one.

[oipigface]

I’m in much the same situation as Mark, except it’s knees with me!

[Andy_B]

13 rounds on the back of the wrecker …..I’m nick knacked now 

[Phil.Taylor]

Top day out on a top slope - not been to the Bwlch for 3 years - its still awe-inspiring / humbling

Big thanks to Joel for organising/herding & a good slope call for BOTW instead of Crest

Phil.

[Rumbey]

Yeah good day indeed. Full on. Thanks to Joel and Mark for cding. Some really good flying on show.  I need to take the speed limiter off my Pitbull. It's stuck on 42/43 seconds per round excluding the cuts!!

Yes it was a super day all through. 'Vladimir' did very well.

A cracking day out on the back of the Wrecker. Thanks to Joel "this is not a democracy" West and everybody else for making it so. A very close last place overall for me, but I was pleased with a 43 second run which would have a PB but for the mental trip to the Crest the other week. With special thanks to Andy B for advice to fly close to the edge of the slope rather than in Devon where it is all depression. Also a big thank you to PhilT whose advice about flying too far past the downwind turn I took a bit too much notice of and promptly cut turn 1 on my next run! The McMeekin Falcon even got a run out in the last round having wrecked half the wing linkages on the last landing with the Extreme. Roll on Whitesheet and L2.
