A few days before setting off North, the BBC was giving consistent Easterly winds and I for one headed off expecting a week of tourism. ........ But as the days unfolded, the wind came round.
Day 1 we had a southerly ridge working while some contacted wave.
Day 2 local soaring in thermals.
Day 3 wind on the Bishop to allow for better ridge playing
Day 4 more ridge and weak wave
Day 5 and more ridge with some weak wave and crystal clear views
Day 6 Blustery, with poor vis and few gliders launched, but some wave was had before the gaps were closing and the airfield beckoned.
The North Hill Nomads, who faced the trek North, Andrew Logan, Andy Davey, Dan Johns, Eric Alston, Gordon Hutchinson, Guy Adams, Pete Startup, Ron Johns, Wyn Davies have all been rewarded with as much flying as our weary souls can take. There are still 3 days left and no sign of any rest. - Wyn Davies W7
