23/1/2017  Wether Fell

Geoff (Crossley) and I travelled over without much hope of flight - it seemed quite light. Would it even be on the hill?  Incredibly ...... it was and just becoming soarable.

The idea was to try out a pair of identical Peak 4's, same size, same colour etc. Geoff at 93kg and me at 98kg. After a first scratchy flight conditions became nicely soarable and we boated about trying the handling, big ears, pushing bar into wind etc.  Several flights later we landed and went for coffee and chips in Hawes to compare notes.  The general verdict was .......... wow! Pretty darned good.
