Tough climbs and taking paxes

This weekend did indeed see some unusual activity after a blowout on Saturday - hats off to Sven who, sat in and ready to go, calmly got out when it blew out just before he was due to launch. Its tough climbing out - especially when you are on the verge of launching, but as Sven says "Just proves you've got to get here early in a NWer".

On Sunday though, there was a strong inversion, and Craig also had a tough climb out - this time with a lead-and-follow that showed a slight tendency to gaggle (especially at biscuit time):


Not satisfied with this though, he took 3 paxes to the launch point "to make sure all was working smoothly":


and even retrieved GOK after "it went bump".
