Newcastle Hang Gliding Club

Ebbs and I headed up on the back road from Jerry's Plains under a sky with high cyrus and I was expecting a typical inverted day. And it was, in fact you can see it in each of Billo's photos.

Seabreeze forecast the wind to swing to the SSE and drop off but after an hour of watching the live data show that the wind was picking up I finished my work for the day and "shut up shop". A quick call to JOD and he tells me he is also leaving the establishment and headed for Dicko.

I spent Saturday morning in a trike, flying out of Rutherford to Hexham for touch and goes and then back to Rutherford into a wind that reduced our groundspeed to negative at times, fantastic fun! It was thermic from 10:00, if you could have got off the ground safely, it would've been a great day for hang gliding.

Airborne has released a flyer outlining their fly-in's for the rest of the year. There are some nearby so check it out.
