| Flight details: | Nice, chilled day. Just five hangies out. I clocked up 3 1/2 hrs in four flights. Essentially a ridge soaring day in strong-ish ENE wind with some bullet-like thermals thrown in. Very hazy, with an inversion, and cloudbase not getting much above 1,800ft. Got nearly there once (1,750ft). Out to the A27 following a gentle lift line twice. And to the trees just before Firle and back twice - in an ENE! Later wind backed NE, dropped a little and got very smooth. |
