First posting - well that's the best title I can think of.

I am delighted to say that Gary has allowed me direct access to make postings to the Booker 2007 Aboyne expedition blog. I hope that any postings I make will meet the high standards displayed in other esteemed Booker Gliding Club organs.
I won’t be at Aboyne until 29th Sept for week 2, but hopefully there will be some updates from elsewhere during week 1.

I need to learn how this blog thing works and I thought this page looked a little blank so here is a pic of a typical Aboyne sky to brighten the page up.




Booker GC is a gliding club from Buckinghamshire and this blog records the 2007 club expedition to Deeside Gliding Club at Aboyne airfield in the Scottish Highlands.
Aboyne is one of the top wave soaring sites in Europe. Soaring in mountain lee waves enables glider pilots to climb to high altitudes, often climbing 12,000 to 20,000 feet.
