| Flight details: | Fantastic flight, really slow going to start with, eventually climbed out properly with Mark and Carlo. Mark went upwind to a nice cloud but me and Carlo went downwind to some scraggly stuff. very slow going 0.5ups for a while, i went ahead to Falmer only to look back at Carlo climbing better but too far upwind. finally got a decent climb over Lewes and then very nearly landed near Ringmer due to a big blue hole. After that it was very easy, much better climbs and good clouds. Connected with sea breeze near rye but turned inland and ran away from it as the clouds were much lower near the front. the mega Final glide to my declared turn point was far too close!!! 10 ft less and i wouldn't have made the turn point. Tammy picked me up 1hr30 minutes after landing but i had loads of local dog walker to chat to and a little jack russel that ran off with my sunglasses case!!! Dinner on the way home. Perfect day. |
