Comments :: First XC's of the year, how rusty am I, over the back at 3k found myself on a glide to nowhere few tehmals off a farm but not usable, an embarrasing 6.5k. Back to the hill with a relight thanks to Ian Pepper, told by him I must do better, got to base at 4k thermalling with a bird and another glider, then looked at the clock and realised I had to land to get home to babysit!!!! Landed from 4k at Highclear castle after a sharp left turn into wind tehn down with the ears in to get there, a much more plesent retreve for Mr Pepper (thanks again). Only 9.5 K but the potential was there and great fun!
