The weather at North Hill seems to have reverted to winter after the warm weather of late - it was back to winter clothing.
The strong northwesterly wind suggested the ridge should be working and indeed it was with some unexpected strong thermals as well, on most flights it was reasonably easy to stay up and everyone had a soaring flight.
