| Flight details: | A bit windy and gnarly after the cold front and rain passed through about 1pm-ish. About 10 hangies out and, I think, a lone PG. Most of us couldn't get much above 1,500ft where the broken thermals became scrambled but I'm told the PG was seen high, heading towards Brighton. The rough conditions gave way to a nice smooth but buoyant evening, allowing a run down to Truleigh. Slow going and fast back in the north-westerly. Packed up as the sun set. |
