Hang Gliding, Flinders, 1st Jan 2026

The forecast was iffy so I took my two gliders with me.
When I got to Flinders it was quite blowy. Andy was just getting out of the bushes next to launch. I started setting up and checking my RX4 that I hadn't flown for about 3 years.
I was glad that Andy and Pete were able to help me.
By the time I launched the wind had backed off and I was uncomfortable in the small lift band with 2 other gliders.
I found my harness zip with difficulty. It took me ages to be able to get levelled out in my harness and my helmet was over my eyes while landing (lots of silicone spray now used). I couldn't see the display on my vario (blocked breather ports). My right eye was fogged up (sweat). And I didn't flare near hard enough on landing.
Hopefully I'll do better next time.
