Three Sisters

Well what a fantastic day & a great pilot turnout.

I think it was 9 pilots that arrived early. So we carpooled and got pilots up the hill and setting up. After a few experienced pilots took off and accessed the conditions, the wind started to pickup. But all the lesser experienced pilots were assisted off safely with suitable lulls between the thermal created peaks.

The early 9 pilots enjoyed classic spectacular Three Sisters winter type conditions. Wide spread, smooth, and enjoyable ridge lift, while also taking advantage of smooth thermals. Heights from 1500 to 2500' (AGL) were easily obtained by most pilots, while time in the air was only dictated by pilot preference.

A few late arrivals were also assisted by some of the earlier pilots landing, with these pilots and some of the hardy earlier pilots not landing until just before dusk.

Plenty of pics were taken (by others), but some are available at "Melbourne Hang Gliding Club" Facebook page . Or they maybe available on the Ride the Spiral website .
