Pantomime Owls seen on Alphin - 04.12.12


Only two committed Owls could make a pre AGM flight tonight. The pantomine horse duo, Mark Brakspear and Bruce Bridgestock, flew upon Alphin, in cool and (near the top) misty conditions. Below is a short report from the big bellied owl himself.

Owl leaders Chris Martin and Andrew Gartside were both flying elsewhere so we were designated run leaders, but strangely no one else joined us......We were greatly aided by our new 'boys toys' the fantastic Petzl Nao headlamps from Mountain Feet. The powerful lights attracted an alien spaceship to Earth and the Warp Factor from the engines partially melted our faces. Despite this we managed a safe descent as our faces recovered, back down in time to see Chris donning the presidential robes as the crown was passed from Jill D to Chris.

Full points are awarded to Mark and Bruce.
