First time out on the HG since last September I think.

Had a quick 10min flight on my glider before landing on top and trying my dads Litespeed.

My first bash on a Litespeed and what a dream to fly, immediately noticed the improvements in handling & glide perfomance. Pull on the VB and it flies 15mph faster or it felt like that. Had a good half hour blasting about cruising around in between the thermals eventually making it up to an impressive cloudbase here of jus over 5,000 feet. Flew all the way out past Fair sanpe and past Bleasdale onto the slopes towards Oakenclough. Eventually top landed and went back onto my Klassic which was like a bag of washing in comparison with a massive decrease in performance.

Took off again and then cruised around for an hour or so before landing to end a brilliant day. My dad had an awesome landing jus fallin short of the main landing field narrowly missing a hedge by a foot, impressive landing.

Cracking sesh in all and conditions here as good as it gets
