Baildon Moor, 30th March 2002

It was much windier than expected, and for a while there was some doubt that we would fly anything at all. So we stood and chatted for quite a while before we finally began to carry the rockets and equipment out on to the moor. Once we got goping we managed a total of 37 flights. Which was pretty good considering that many larger rockets didn't get flown. Fliers were: Richard, Tony, Pete, Angela, Kieran, Darren, Josh, Shaun, James, Jim, Dave and Mike.

George turned up later too, not to fly but to show off his shiny new HyperTEK GSE. It looks very good. Can't wait to help him try it out.
