Similar weather situation as Wednesday, with subtle changes: the wind was round to towards south east, less cirrus and weaker inversion. Thermals were evident from the word go, but were surrounded by very heavy sink. By lunchtime things settled down a bit, thin brief cumulus formed and once out of the circuit soaring was quite easy particularly when the sea breeze passed through, finding the first climb amongst the sink frustrated a few. The day ended prematurely when the sea air encroached, the wind went strongly south westerly and no-one had the enthusiasm to change ends.
National Ladder: not so many 500s as yesterday but still a lot of long flights, best 809kms.
