AndyC Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hello all, Ok having spent many decades flying powered now only electric i have always had an urge to try slope saoring. So being 40mins from Garway hill a SAS wildthing 60 is in the post. I visited Garway saturday 5th Nov but no-one was flying. Is there any advice about this site before i give it a go, i have queried SCSA about membership also as they seem to have quite a few good sites fairly close to me. When i visited Garway to me the conditions seemed ideal i.e. a fairly strong constant wind coming up the main slope, the one on the other side to the path upto the top, but no-one was around so either everyone was at tescos or my interpretation of ideal is way off, hence this posting. Any advice greatfully recieved. Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Works best in a SW to NW, but you thermal in the valley on a southerly in summer. No club as such but often quite a crowd if the wind is in the right direction, you must have been unlucky. I'm away on business at the moment so that's my excuse. Drop me a pm and I'll e-mail you when we are next going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Leigh Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi Andy, a few of us are up there in a Westerly. Last week, we were on North Hill (in Wales) which is a better slope for that direction. Same as Frank, drop me a PM and I'll let you next time we're up. Oh should have got a WT 48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
