The 2009 Cross Country Season begins

Dave Watt and John Giddins launched first on a 227km task to Little Rissington and Gransden Lodge in their Venti. Both completed.

Mike Pettican (Std Cirrus) and Mark Lavender (ASW19) launched on a 140km task to Little Rissington and Newport Pagnell. Both completed.

Several other also flew on what was a nice early March day, which at best gave 5.5kt climbs to 4000ft.

Norman Hollifield visited Oxford and nearly Milton Keynes in the clubs Astir, before completing his first 'real' field landing, and getting introduced to getting stuck in the mud.

The Dunstable DUO Discus also popped in for tea and a tow home.

Both the Pawnee and the club Robin are at Turweston for servicing or maintenance, so we are using our third accessible tug D-ENBW until G-OTIB comes back, hopefully by this Friday.

My apologies for not attaching photo's to recent blogs, having recently moved house I can't find my camera download lead :(
