Gone Slopin 101,\u00a0 A Day<\/p>\n

Rakete Build<\/a><\/p>\n

Strong South winds , never packed my Rakete and went slopin either. What a day for this, though south winds will make it difficult as the land generally runs up hill towards the south here until I get on the south side of the Cobequid Mtns.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perhaps I will find some local hills.. Greenhill maybe or just a bit of luck.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Packed, rubber bands , radio, batteries, neck strap , plane. Did I miss something?<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then the crew mutinies, they think walking on the beach is a way to enjoy the wind.<\/p>\n

Ah well I’ll play along plan a Picnic en route perhaps on Greenhill , If nothing else appears<\/p>\n

4o minutes later we were at the beach, Waterside Provincial Park. We knew this beach was there , never stopped in , and while we were there perhaps we’ll visit Caribou island<\/p><\/div>\n

Made it, there were 3 other cars in the parking lot,<\/p>\n

hopefully the hill isn’t overcrowded with other Slopers\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Assessing the situation from the parking lot things look grim Jim,<\/p>\n

winds were blowing offshore<\/p>\n

\"\"

Hee hee , I see a hill<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Headed from the beach to our own Private Lagoon, I’m going to let the crew do some advance scouting and decide later whether to get the Rakete<\/p><\/div>\n

Just got word back from a Sentinel that, it was steep down this side, there were people on the rocks below, and as you could see behind him there was enough bush too loose my plane<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

No worries, I’m working on Plan B from base camp, though I can’t get on Google for a Map and directions to GreenHill. I will have to go on memory, we’ll swing through Caribou Island and then pick up a Sandwich or two at a shop and some drinks in Pictou, surely that will work<\/p><\/div>\n

30 minutes from Caribou Island thru Waterside and Three Brooks and we were in Pictou<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

On the Road Again, another 20 minutes, just so happens there’s a Provincial Picnic Park on Greenhill, there’s gotta be Picnic tables. A scenic drive thru Lyons Brook and Durham before we leave the West Side, of the West River and head up Greenhill. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Eastside:)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Parking, some Picnic Tables and a Vista looking West with the breeze piping thru<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Down the Hill, not being a Slope flier, I’m thinking that a plane could disappear in that bush<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Yes, there’s a breeze here, what a view though. Hang gliders have been known to fly here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wow what a day, 4 hours later we found Greenhill and the crew is ready to go home. Didn’t get a chance to fly but had fun driving around \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Never flew, sound Familiar!<\/p>\n
