[Celwin]

I flew near Carrs Lookout when we last went there. I say near, as the cloud was too low for the main hill so we flew beside the owners house for a while until it lifted. By the time it lifted, the ESC in my eklectic Assassin had died (dammn eklectic-power) so I was out. The wind had picked up but the cloud was still there when Martin flew at the top with a Radian (he was the only one brave enough). At one moment, it disappeared into low cloud, down wind and at an unusual angle as he tried to maintain control. Landed up the paddock because of the turbulence. There are towers there now and some trees which are in the way from memory, so the site could be difficult depending on the wind direction now. It's a bit of a gamble driving there not knowing what the weather is going to be like.
It's not hard to have the area recognised by the MAAQ/MAAA/CASA. I've sent in the information (to Greg to send to the MAAQ Secretary) for out the back of our house and the Yangan Cricket Field.

So... I'm interested in Slope Soaring, but I'm not a very reliable member if travelling is involved.
