| Comments | :: | As Al Wilson says below,another excellent day at the Gibbet. Arrived about 11and it was well flyable althouugh a bit punchy and very very crowded in close-to-the-hill thermals! Some people arrived mid afternoon only to leave a couple of hours later because the wind had died and veered to the east. By 5.30-6.00pm the ridge started working again and some pleasant ridge soaring was enjoyed by the 9 or10 flyers still on the hill. wind died again about 7.00pm. Two balloons drfted over the hill. They must have had interesting landings as a fresh westerly with lashing rain set in as we left at about 7.30! |
