| Flight details: | Almost didn't bother going to the DYke as thought it would be blown out. But turned out to be a fun day with a couple of hours of thermalling and soaring.Managed to squeeze in a small 5k FAI triangle. Also pleased as todays flight just took me over my first 500 hours. Looked like most people were having fun and no incidents ( that i saw) |
