Congratulations to Herman van Teylingen for being awarded a SSSA Honorary Life Membership for his commitment and dedication to glider over the past four decades.Written by Danie Friday, 28 December 2012 11:35
Danie, Sigmund and Gavin (pictured below) joined the Cape Gliding Club during the annual Victoria West Gliding Camp held during the first week of December. The camp has a pleasant relaxed atmosphere where passionate glider pilots utilise the fantastic Karoo gliding weather. Although this year’s weather did not compare as favourably as with previous years, all the gliders stayed airborne for most of the day and some good distance flights were flown.Written by Sigmund Monday, 24 December 2012 07:22
One of our members, Gavin Stephens with his DG600M, attended this year’s annual Wave Camp during the winter at El Mirrador in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Here he had a chance to soar the mighty Drakensberg Mountains where both ridge and wave lift was to be found, along with some good thermals.
The camp was held from 4 to 19 August 2012 and the conditions were not for the faint hearted, or in experienced, with temperatures down to -20C at altitude, 100 kph winds and strong rotor along with rugged baron mountains.
The pictures below are Gavin flying along with Martin Lessle in his Duo Discus as part of Gavin’s introduction to the area.
