More good stuff Graeme, were they winch launched or tugged up?

All were winched - the Scottish Gliding Union do have a Pawnee but it wasn't operating. The VGS were winched - they do the same across at Kirknewton. They were obtaining lift from the hill I was standing on, then going over Loch Leven for sink before repeating the process once more - great stuff and lots of opportunities for photos. You wouldn't like the climb, though!  Graeme |

 It was only 1100 feet or so from the car park - a nice little stroll! Graeme

Have only been up twice in one - both times aero-towed out of Lands' End aerodrome, straight over the cliff edge! (Was flying with the Culdrose Gliding Club but there was too much helicopter training at Culdrose to fly there.)

You can get a trial lesson from Walney Island for about £50 i think.
