Flight details: | Early take off at just gone 10am, first lot climbed out immediately. Very windy so left low with a gaggle of 5 including Craig Atwell. Broken climb to cloudbase then we headed off. Seemed to loose very little in height on my dhv 1/2 and open harness compared to 5 comp wings & 2/3s. Most of the gaggle scrapped up from north of Hungerford but I was left low with I think, Richard Westgate just above me. Drifted south eastwards, he climbed out, I didn't, that sums it up really. thermalling ability when it was marginal let me down again! |
