| Flight details: | This was a flight full of new experiences for me:
1. Soaring a ridge that wasn't the ridge I'd taken off from. That was quite exciting. It didn't last long though, as I managed to climb out again fairly quickly with another pilot on an Advance wing.
2. Climbing above the clouds! Or rather up the side of them. I found a bit of sky that must have had a drier airmass, as I was climbing towards some wispy clouds above me at 4200ft while looking down on some thick clouds next to me with a cloudbase of 3500ft. That was spectacular and the climbs were really good there too.
3. Eating in flight. I'd been in the air nearly two hours and I was gliding, so I thought I'd try and eat something. I opened a sausage roll, took one bite and promptly flew into some lift, so I stuffed the sausage roll into my pod and rolled into a turn. 10 minutes later I was on the ground and the sausage roll was nowhere to be seen. |
