In November 1999 I had a nice flight of just under 100km's from Mount Lonarch. This was quite memorable for a few reasons, as 1 of my earlier XC flights, it was my first flight from this site, and Kevin, Mal & myself all landed in the same paddock (after hitting a quite strong sea breeze).
In the summer of the 2000 / 2001 season, Mal, Andrew Wicks & myself had a nice flight from Buffalo. Andrew W landed out near Milawa, but Mal & myself managed to get back up over Milawa and nearly made it back, landing near Ovens.
For the 2002 / 2003 season I decided to by my first new glider;
- I test flew a new C2-14 (mylar version) at Dynamic Flight Park. After being convinced to chase the pilots that had headed off, I flew a 114km flight (85km out & 29km return). (map of flight)
- I than purchased it's dacron little brother (C2-13Lite) and competed in the Australian Championships in Deni. (see report) ???
The 2003 / 2004 season was good to me;
-
In November 2003 was the "Holiday of a Lifetime at Birchip (aka Flatlands XC encampment)". Here I has 2 100mile flights. (see report)
-
In January 2004 I competed in the "Hay Australia Open & Pre-World Hang Gliding Championships". (see report)
The 2006 / 2007 flying season had some new flights for me;
- At the Birchip Easter comp in 2006 I again made goal on the last day. (see report)
- Over the summer Bright trip I nearly got out to Benalla (from Mystic). (see report)
The 2007 / 2008 flying season was pretty good to me;
- The spring flying started early, with some nice flights from Landscape & Three Sisters. (see report)
- On the Melbourne Cup Long weekend trip to Bright I flew 153km from Mystic to Cobram. (see report)
- Then I spent a further 3 weeks at Bright over the post Christmas period. (see report)
