Team Eagle's Easter excursion to Talgarth got off to a good start with a day much better than forecast. The Jones luxury caravan and hospitality suite had meant a 'less than early night' on Friday but the sight of blue gaps and a stiffening breeze hastened Eagle and Ventus rigging.
The hill was working well and the sun came through enough to generate good and vigorous thermals which meant the ridge was never really crowded. Wave was never far away but just too far for the 1950s aerodynamics of the Eagle.

After 5 and half hours, murmurings from Lord Jones about time and cold brought to a close a most splendid day. - JP
