News from Talgarth
Great day again!
The day started off with drizzle and low cloud but broke up at about 3:00pm to about 900ft. Simon and Peter S took a tow and did some ridge running below the cloud and then the cloud broke and wave formed going up to round 4000ft. Nothing like Portmoak but nevertheless! Very fun.
Guy Adams and Pete Warren then took the DG for a flight running up and down the ridge. - SM
News from Portmoak
Today was a fantastic day. The wind was a brisk Westerly which veered North West. Although none of us from North Hill had any badge claims there were several flown from here today.
It took a while to get established in the wave but once we got going John Bugbee went to FL195, JB to 14.5k, Pete and Matt to 12k and Martin to 7k on a late afternoon flight but was prevented from doing more by the cloud which started moving around and closing up. Pete in 230 covered about 260km and MegaMatt 289km.
The Club 300k task was not on (not even by the locals), due to excessive cloud amounts at both turnpoints and a shifting wave pattern as the wind changed direction but we still managed to get into the hills around Loch Tay and Pitlochry. Most of us landed when we got cold - Matt flew until it got dark!
Ron and Wooly have just arrived and we are now off to the pub to tell them what they've missed! - PS
Congrats to Joe D who did his 5 hours at the Mynd a couple of days ago.
