With the wind not quite on the ridge we were thankful of the plentiful thermals that were around today. Wave influence was obvious with some very good thermals 4-5kts accompanied by the equally good sink!
Difficult to go far but local flights of between 4 and 5 hours were had by the NH Nomads, Wyn stretched his legs slightly more that the rest of us reaching Corwen down the valley before scuttling back to the hills. DD3 turbo'd out West towards the Mountains but found it even trickier out that way.
230 and KMV had a small sniff of wave late in the day but to only about 5,200' and 5500'.
By the time we landed the wind had backed to about 180 brisk-ish straight across the runway and it was challenging to hit the small tarmac strip in the conditions.
