Comments :: Arrived at midday and trudged across to White Horse where myself and 2 others faffed around and got utterly frustrated at the ever changing wind direction. One minute SE then SW, guess it proves it was light & thermic with some sort of southerly aspect.However none of us managed squiddly dot, there just wasn't any substantial thermals to get us airborne. The best bit of the day was a fly past by the Red Sparrows enroute to the swansea airshow having displayed at Shoreham. At around 4 ish meself and Mike Hibbit trudges across to the bowl and joined 6 others as we ridge skimmed for an hour or so b4 going home. All this on a day when pilots of the Avon club bomburst away from their sites to have half descent days on Nanty - Y- Moel nr Porthcawl and not so descent on Golden Ball nr Milk Hill !!.
