Comments :: After persistent fresh easterlies for two weeks the spell was finally broken and a light northerly set in. Quite strong early morning then well soarable. Although overcast, thermal activity was supprisingly good until about 2pm when the sun broke through and the wind dropped! We then had a three hour window with regular but short lived cycles. Those of us lucky enough to get up high found an inversion about 1700' ato, but some really nice upwind thermals. Two sailplanes got a low save over Inkpen and drifted in towards the ridge coloured with limp canopies and pilots parawaiting. Day finnished about 5pm with a light north easterly breeze. Roll on the north westerlies!
