Pete & Jill have returned from a week at Eden Soaring, near Penrith in Cumbria. The persistent anti-cyclonic conditions giving strong winds at North Hill was centred over the Lake District and provided little wind for this exciting ridge and wave site. The Easterly Helm did set up late on Monday evening but launching the Duo downwind was out of the question. On Tuesday and Thursday, long thermal flights over the Eden valley and into the foothills of the Lake District made the trip worthwhile and if the cloudbase had been a little bit higher above the summits we would have explored further.
