| Flight details: | Loads of hangies out. Pretty rough air at times. Lots of lift but I ignored most of it until I got into a nice climb at Beddingham which I left at least 1,000ft short of cloudbase. I can't think why now, but anyway, I pushed out to just east of Caburn to make a small triangle. The usual gathering in the Ram in Firle afterwards. |
