An occasional blog from hang gliding comps in Europe. In '09 The Worlds in Larangne, France and Pre europeans in Ager, Spain.
In '10 my daughter Alex joined me for a return to Ager for the Europeans and then on to Monte Cucco, Italy, for the Pre Worlds.
This year Ally has started Uni so I am without my trusty driver but with the Aussie team to fly Switzerland and the Italian Worlds.

Thanks to our sponsors
I have collected signatures on special edition envelopes printed for the worlds at Laragne as a thank you for those who donated to the team fund.
Gday Steve, Glen here a student you taught Physics (and sailing) in the late 90s. Now in aviation myself working as a flying instructor. Glad to see you're still enjoying the hang-gliding!
I am a Physics teacher at Hallett Cove School in SA.
I could not be here if it was not for the understanding and support of my wife Liz and children Alex and Patrick.
I also want to thank those who have donated to the team fund and are credited on the HGFA website.
This is my 6th HG Worlds. I got lucky in '85 in Kossen coming 9th and in Ager in '89 I was 5th. After a break from international comps it has been a good challenge getting back in the team.
My goal this time is to see Australia win the team and individual Gold.
