| Flight details: | Perfect day for Feb - lovely spring climbs and not too windy, flew towards ditching but that ridge was crap as it was too westerly and the thermals were suppressed (thats cookies reason anyway) so i was stuck grovelling for hours trying to get home - eventually realised it wasn't going to happen and flew down the ridge and landed near Lewes. Still a lovely day out and some brilliant climbs around the dyke. |
