Flight details: | Got a lift to the Dyke from very kind Rob Chisholm, this way it is a compulsory XC day ;)
Manage to climb to base early with Mark, Carlo, Nancy and Tefal, then managed to glide myself back to the take off while everyone else stayed up!
It was good fortune as I really needed a piss :D
After that very hard to climb up again, slope landed a few times then finally red carrera showed us a nice climb everybody went up while watching someone do SIV close to landing field. Very scary to watch :/
Followed Owen towards Ditchling but could not get up with him, ended up quite low over falmer where a few losers who shan't be named already landed, got a lucky climb just low enough so that I could shout insanity at everybody on the ground while climbing up.
Manage to lose the lift again and again, then very strong narrow climbs at 2500feet, got tired so had a power nap while thermaling, found I was much more efficient that way so embarked onto sleep...
When I woke up I was gliding in sink between Caburn and Firle.
I then circled in zeros that drifted me to FlySussex' slope, soared there for a bit trying to climb out again but didn't manage.
Got a lift back to Brighton with one of Tim's Student :)
What a day!
Oh yeah also Phil almost got ran over by a small plane. That was quite fun.
See you all soon again at cloudbase!!! |
