| Flight details: | Managed to hold on to a decent enough climb out the Dyke. Left it before cloud base as I wanted to push forward more to connect with the Ditchling ridge. Really need to ride these higher though. On the glide to Ditchling failed to find another thermal and ended up landing out at the bottom. Luckily Frieds on hand for a quick lift back to the hill for another attempt |
