| Flight details: | What should have been a great day turned out to be a windy tricky day with low cloud base. I bombed out of the first thermal that the main gaggle got away in and then found another one along with Andrew, Grita and Vincent. After much fruitless searching for another thermal ended up about 5 k away. Many thanks to Ghandi for his excelent retrieve service. |
