Dickeys today 10/20

Post by FlyingFelix »

I decided to start a thread for those interested in flying Dickeys today.
I'm meeting Steve Kinsley at the park entrance today at 12:30. For now I'm not sure who else is going to be there but we will for sure.
If you're coming ease post (HG or PG) :)
Safe flights everyone!

Felix.

The PGers are headed there.

Don't forget your permits. The park rangers are checking for them.

So, the hike to Dickeys is no joke - what a workout! I'll be suffering tomorrow.
The day looked great but turned out to be much less than that (at least for me).
4 Paragliders flew (Tom Ceunen, Dan T, Laszlo and Matt Ingram). SteveK and I the only HG'ers (not too bad since the setup area is pretty restrictive up there). Steve got a nice flight in, I launched last and scratched like crazy, put on a good fight but landed just 10 minutes later. Had a good launch and landing - I find DIckeys it to be a pretty technical site (especially the LZ).
Thank you Steve for coming out, much appreciated.
What a great site - I need to go back and actually soar it one day...
Felix.
