This awful weather that we seem to have had for the last month relented a little today. There was no rain, except a brief shower whilst we were having lunch, and the wind was only 25 knots (40 knots at the top of the launch) but near enough straight down the field.
About half of the ridge worked all day, being able to maintain 12-1400 feet in the right places. There was some thermic activity, particularly late morning taking us towards cloud base at 4-6kts. The day ended prematurely due to misting canopies and a low sun.
Three two-seaters, a Junior and Discus were flying, sometimes all in the air at the same time.
An unexpectedly good day, not too rough, just very windy.
