| Comments | :: | Arrived at 11am with a few others. It was blowing a steady 12mph SE'ly to start with and nice and sunny but quite hazy (inversion layer?!?) however by 12noon it had picked up to 16-18 and S'ly. Everyone got some decent soaring for a few hours with small punchy thermals which at times were quite rough and most fizzling out at around 2000' amsl. Landed about 2pm as the wind had picked up even stronger. Whilst on my way back up from landing I had a chat to a very nice family who were having a picnic and were mesmerised seeing all the gliders - time for a chat and doing my PR bit for the club! We had some lunch and met up with those who came over from Golden Ball for some communal parawaiting and the usual banter. |
