Day one at Enterprise.
Although thankfully the ridge was working the day loomed as you see in the photo.
Phil & Dan in DD3 (Phil Morrison)
The typical "Enterprising" task was to pick off alternate turn points on either side of a line toward North Wales. Nick generously gave up his seat to Dan, which was a blessing as I had never flown from the Mynd before and he was able to point out how to miss the sheep on landing!
CE2022 Day 1 task
After a lot of scuttling up and down the ridge picking up the occasional week thermal gliders including ourselves were sneaking out to bag a couple of local turnpoints. As the afternoon progressed the rather better condition visible to the North arrived locally and we became emboldened and bagged a couple more tps. At this point we possibly became a little too bold and went for a corking thermal which wasn't. Looking down at a large grass sector of a disused airfield we were forced to fire up the iron thermal and return to the Mynd.
