| Flight details: | Flying all day at the Dyke (about 10.30am - sunset), with bouyant air out frount, aided by a few bonfires around Fulking, so could easily fly 1km straight out from the hill and back - and several managed what looked to be quite significant out and returns in the direction of Henfield. In the end, at 3pm I decided to go for a downwind adventure to get started on my xcs for the season, and managed to get to ASDA. Not epic, but not bad for mid afternoon at this time of year - I did not go earlier as it took quite a while for the inversion to lift. In the end decided to go for it in a half decent thermal at about 1,500'. I found a couple more weak thermals over the back, making 2,000 ASL at most, and but was just a little too low by the time I reached Brighton to risk looking for thermals over the town, and instead flew along the A27 but found no other lift. |
