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.

Cucco practice and opening ceremony
The weather has turned crap but we got in an awesome practice day when it was possible to fly anywhere.

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.
