One of the best down to earth clips to witness progress from zero to gliding, of low tech (both glider and cam...) elder dude in casual fitness. Builds an appetite for the faint hearted
In 1974>1978 When Enchanted Rock in Fredricksburg Texas Huge updraft in the west side of the red granite dome. Wild we were constantly doing mods . I’ve finally replaced both knees and my right shoulder in last 2 years. 65 still do things to wake me up to the passing seconds.
I started in 72. 4,000 hrs by 1999 I remember those days well. Best thing I ever did in my life. Sex might be fairly close. Flying like a bird.............no words
It sounds antipodean to me. The number plates don't look British either. New Zealand? It would probably be completely overcast if that was the UK! I did my training in the South Downs in 1974 btw. God, I'm old...

Steyning as I recall is more of a left-hand dog leg feature at the lower end as viewed from any of the launches. I trained there under Eddie Bilous in the late '80's.
