I was stupid today.  After checking the weather, i decided to head for Oostduinkerke.  Arriving there around 13h30, a few pilots were soaring the dune so i immediately hopped into the air too, but unfortunately without much success: the wind dropped and was too north.  After some playing around, things started to change, we got a perfect north-westerly wind, but sometimes quite strong... I decided to continue playing in front of the dune... way in front of the dune... oh yes, I was definately waaay in front of the dune...

After two flying days at the French coast and one in Coo this year, it was time for me to hit the Belgian coast again.  As an almost perfect north-westernwind was announced, i decided to jump out of my bed at 05:45AM this morning, get fresh, walk to the trainstation and grab the train at 07:02AM.  Two hours later, i was at the Belgian beach in Oostduinkerke, packing out my glider, alone with the wind.  It didn't take long for me to start soaring, and it even took less time for me to be blown over the dunes due to the strong wind :-)  Nothing serious though...

After a lot of non-flying activity in the last few days and weeks, a lot of us thought about going soaring at the wonderful small dune of Oostduinkerke at our Belgian coast... Unfortunately, soaring there only works with a nice north-west wind... and unfortunately all we got was a very light plain north breeze...
