| Comments | :: | Arrived about 11:00 in thick fog, Dan arrived about a half hour later. Ater about an hours wait the Sun was beginning to win the battle so we set up to fly, still not much visibility but time for a quick flight before a rapid rise in wind speed. After about half an hour the clag came back down and we thought flying might be done for the day. After a brew and a chat and the arrival of Terry, things did seem to be clearing a bit but still very misty with lots of wind.3:30 to 4:00 and the conditions settled to a good soarable strength and there were 3 or 4 of us in the air for about half an hour. Then the wind dropped right off and I thought it was too light for me, but a Red Kite hung tantalisingly around the middle of the ridge. I took this as an invitation and went to join him and was rewarded with a few more short flight where it was just about possible to stay up for a few beats. So not a fantastic day but well worth the trip and some ground handling time to boot. |
