2012 Edition

Now I hate to be called a creature of habit, but looking back at my logbook that's 12 years in a row at Serres, and 20 years of flying in the Southern French Alps in total. So I figure it might just about be time to try a competition in the area, and that's the plan for 2012. Hence it's off to Vinon for the "Provence Glide" competition which coincides with the pre-european Championships and a right good kicking at the hands (or should that be feet?) of some of the World's best pilots. My original goal was to avoid coming last, but looking at the entry list I think that's far too ambitious, so I've revised that to having just one day where I don't come last. Too much to ask? We'll see...
Sadly that does mean not flying at Serres this year which is a real shame, but I suspect we'll be going overhead it a few times and I'm sure I'll be back there in 2013, so I can't see the point in changing the title of the blog.
Forward to the ferry, and let the kicking commence!
