| Flight details: | I don't know about others, but I found Saturday difficult. I struggled to get the climbs, and when I did I lost it all on my way to where I thought the next climb would be. The combination of strong-ish wind and sink kept me pretty much pinned to the ridge the whole time. On the plus side, I had a very enjoyable 2.5 hours flight |
