Sunday 23rd May. We drove to about an hour to a ridge about 170m high. The take off was a small clearing in the trees. I eventually got the courage to take off only to get my glove trapped in my brake line. I quickly assessed whether it was going to impede my flight as the glider was above me and really wanted to take off. It wasn't, so I did. In the air I just took my glove off (it was still tightly caught in the line but held on to it the rest of the flight. Luckily it was so warm I didn't get a cold hand. :-)
The rigde was quite long and I had a very nice flight. Probably the longest so far on the Artik 2. Picture of John not being able to land (again) and the campervan in the background.
Got back to the campsite and had a couple of beers...
