Quite a day really. Got there about 11.30am. Loads of people there for a BCC round. Very light. Most trekked up to the top takeoff some people used the lower takeoff and managed to get up. I didn't and had a bit of a trek up through the bracken........... Anyway, loads of people flying and quite a few getting away. For reasons unknown to me I was flying like an ass and could barely stay up! After a bit of of that I kind of gave up and decided a munch and a snooze in the sun was in order watching people scratching about.



Hmmmmm..... Got to about 3.30pm and with things appearing to drop off I thought 'Bugger this one more go and if I end up in the bottom landing so be it, that's where the car is anyway'. So I took off and joined the gaggle of gliders. Somehow the Brain seemed to be working a bit better and I got a nice steady climb to 3,600' ATO and poked me head above the rather nasty brown inversion. Feeling much better I decided to wander over Abergavenny way via some nasty 4-5m/s sink and a couple of nice 1-2m/s thermals. All very pleasant. Floated about over The Blorenge for a bit, toplanded in perfect soaring conditions. I may as well carry on so launched, floated about some more in really bouyant air until I thought I better land in Castle Meadows for a beer and phone Ron who was still at Pandy to tell him where I'd disappeared to. Lovely views and not a single frame of video shot. Told you the brain wasn't switched on.
