mark_r Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Think we had an entire summer season in one day yesterday, reminded me of the hokey cokey song (Wind from the left, wind from the right, lift, no lift...). Good to be out on the hill with everyone and get a bit of flying in a pretty relaxed comp. Well done to JP for holding it together for the win too. Looking forward to the next one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwest532 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Well done boys and sorry again that I couldn't make it. I promise once my work calms down I'll get back to it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter G Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 That turned out really well considering. Drove down through rain (Cheshire) & fog (Shropshire) to arrive at the Bwlch in glorious sunshine (and very little wind!). The first couple of rounds were pretty punishing for me but I was glad to find I can still do it once there was a bit more wind/luck after the rain. A pretty bonkers weekend for me with a family party in Liverpool on Saturday night and 640 miles driven yesterday (972 total)! But all the plans came together and the whole family had a good weekend so delighted it all came together Well done to JP who wrestled decent times from all but one round despite the variability and the two Mark's who had better averages It's funny, I think my 770 score in round 5 was my best flown round, I was really trying despite the poor air (after Graeme's boomer) and now I'm glad as it counted... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeE Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 JP left his Windy at home, whilst Lizzy was with me. Great day out, nice and restful, stooging about. Funny old day with the flags, I didn't take it seriously. Disappointed as always with my poor result, but it was actually a great day out, that I needed after a very stressful week. All packed for Iceland in the morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnEP Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Yes a good day all a bit of bad start but it got sorted, big thanks to all for the hard work put in for yesterday. I did a rather a lot off launching which was fun, a bit off putting as at times as we were flying slow enough to watch the flag man good memories though See you all soon jP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Fish Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Bwlch Sunday 23 April 2023: Pictures on your Willowracing blog were good Ian. I am interested in what planes were used or is this a secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_r Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 John, models used (in order of the table above) were Mamba, pitbull1, device, fs6, pitbull2, orden, fs6, fs5, shinto, saker, fs4, fs6, jedi, device, extreme. The conditions were such (variable) that the model wasn't a significant factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeE Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Agree with Mark, do not place any relevance on the model types from this comp. Variability was the decider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc-soar Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Well I'm glad that the prospect of a lie-in didn't prevail over a mad dash to the Bwlch - it certainly went a lot better than one could have expected! Many thanks to Mark and helpers for organsing a promising start to the season.
