When I posted my Luton photos the other day I promised to follow them up with ones from my other venue on my 'Double Beds' trip so here are a selection taken from the top of the Downs (if that makes sense) by the northernmost car park about 300m north of the visitors' Centre........

the two active tugs to start with....

thanks Paul, i was hoping there would be more ridge soaring to get them above below and head on but wind wasn't right I suppose.
Must go back and try again one day.

Great set ! I'll go for the nr 1 and the last one. It looks like they are racing...

Great shots, nice to see a different angle, well done.
