Comments :: Windy but flyable all day, the thermals working in the morning and then suddenly switching off around 12. A few got away before this and made decent distances. When it switched back on at the hill (around 1) it was going up everywhere and everyone flying (about 10 gliders) was hoovered up - Tim G reported 9m/s on the climb out. A big gaggle had formed ahead and I bombed out trying to catch it up; those that flew conservatively and stayed high got to Bath and beyond. I think 5 flights were made between 100-115k - Tim G, Graham S, Wayne, Simon T?, an other? - epic for September. Same tomorrow or too windy?
