Milk Hill 21st February
Sat 21 Feb.
Milk Hill.
Wind 7-11ish SW.
Approaching the site I saw 10-12 gliders up at Rybury, so decided to see if it was on at Milk. It was, although not a soul was there which I thought was strange. I phoned Andy E who came over later and we ended up getting an hour and half of really pleasant boating about with lift up to a whopping 170ft ATO. It was nice having the whole hill to ourselves except for the buzzards and various hawks. Lots of walkers taking photo's of us and being generally amazed by what they were seeing! Landed about 17.20 as the wind died off and the sun was starting to go down, which was a long time after the Rybury crowd had packed up and gone home. Peachy!
