| Flight details: | Initially the day was strong wind and rough air, with heavy cloud cover, but it gradually broke up and improved. A large gang of us took a good big thermal to 3000ft, and then it was downwind all the way, following the only clouds in the sky. I pulled out at the Long Man to pick a safe land at Willington |
