A very different day at the dyke. If you were careful when you launched you could have a great flight. Nice spring climbs and great hill banter. Bring on more spring days

23rd Mar 04:21: Good flight for the conditions. I headed towards Truleigh but the going was slow and, losing height, I chickened out after a couple of bowls. I was a bit nervous of the ominous looking clouds too and didn't take my climbs anywhere near the top, when I found any.
There was a bit of fun and games on the ground in the squalls between the flying but all in all it was a fun day.

25th Mar 05:31: A couple of us got half an hour's soaring on paragliders just before dark, when the sun's energy had stopped setting of squalls.

25th Mar 06:02: I slept over on Saturday night and the morning of Sunday was pretty calm too, probably a little top end for pg's but no dangerous clouds until midday- glad your waiting around was rewarded by an evening flight. Hoping tomorrow (Wednesday) turns out good too!
