| Flight details: | Launched and eventually headed for the quarry just the other side of the A23. "That is bound to produce a nice thermal", I thought to myself. It didn't, and I landed on top of Wolstonbury Hill and watched everybody else do far, far better. After battling through woodland and stinging nettles I managed to hitch a lift back to the Dyke. At least it was more fun than being at work. |
