2006:
The AHPC round of the Scottish Nationals was held 1st – 2nd July. Wave stopped
play inland on Saturday so we went to St Cyrus. Here it was too light to soar
more than a few beats before going to the spot landing target on the beach
(drawn and scored by Lu McClintock). Richy Grundy had a dead centre and Gordon
Smyth from the Ochils was less than a “Lu pace” away. Martin Doble from Oban
managed 75 paces from the spot, about the same he missed a 46km goal in France
at the Chabre Open as part of the Doric Dangler team.
Saturday night was spent drinking then
camping at the Deeside Gliding Club (thanks to Bob for the organising and Richy
for fetching the curries from Aboyne).
Sunday looked reasonable on the way to the
Cairnwell despite the over-development elsewhere. With the chairlift running there
was no pain in getting up and as the majority of us reached the summit Richy
Grundy took off and smoothly thermalled to base. Half a dozen others got off
but that was the last thermal before a shower came in from the south, leaving
10 of us stranded sheltering in the chair lift top station. The shower ended up being consistent rain so
Richy won the day with his 7km and so winning the coveted bottle of whisky
first prize. Gordon got an empty tin (close but no cigar) and as we had a girl
(other than George McGhee) competing for the first time we gave Tina a T-shirt.

2005 - A Good Year:
The AHPC round of the Scottish Nationals was
held 3-4 Sep. Flying at Tap in some sort of wave enabled Simon Lucas to beat
the other 10 paras and get 9.5km, so winning the coveted bottle of whisky first
prize. Winner of the Irn Bru booby prize was Richy Grundy for his two attempts,
getting 8km and 5.7km. He nobly shared it with Adrian Smith who didn't make it
to the Hill O Noth at all.
