| Flight details: | Climbed-out in what seemed to be the last chance saloon as the sea breeze arrived and took a long cross-wind glide to escape the cloud cover near the coast. Climbs were better above 3000' and I spent most of the next 1/2 hour trying to avoid getting hoovered above 4500. Was making slow progress cross-wind so had the bright idea of flying back to the Dyke, which went OK.....for a while. |
