Got to site about 1030. 3 or 4 pilots in the car park getting ready and half dozen on take off.  Wind was off to the West to begin with. but slowly came round to NW. Sion Roberts and one other then myself launched about 1150. 

Slowly but surely more pilots started to arrive and the take off was really busy by 1300. Wind/thermals were fairly strong but flyable. Got two and half hours in with three flights.

not sure on height as vario still in rucksack but got to the top of stack for a few moments looking down on Richard Bungay, but he soon climbed above me. Chris Jones borrowed my electron and he had a good flight as l flew my red UP.

Wind really started to pick up about 1545 and so Chris and one other bottom landed, l eventually got down just before it was blown out.

Good to see so many familiar faces today.

See you all at the BFR Sunday

Regards Mike
