Arrived after consulting the "runes", wind very SSE and flyable strength. Sat in the car and consumed lunch.
Grant arrived as the wind came S a few choice words and we took to the sky. I found the air very S and chose to correct my route accordingly. As I got to White Nothe I could see Grant already doing wingovers low at Durdle Door. I checked my Into wind and Steve scooted past and headed in a straight line to Dungy Head. Martin joined us and we flew around going halfway across Lulworth and finding the wind now SSW. After a while it was back to the Nothe and then landed and another boat down the coast, I went as far as Bats Head this time and although the wind was more SW there was plenty of lift to make it back. Landed as the rain shower was approaching and it was then back in the air before finding the wind chill was definetly penetrating the clothes. Observed several at Whitehorse enjoying themselves.

The CANP was submitted, Coastguard and Portland Heliport advised of our presence. A slow start to the day with some pleasant thermals developing on the ridge, tested Steve's Delta 4, pleasant and solid, responds well.
The madding hordes arrived with the breeze, lots of happy Pilots. The cliffs worked well with some thermals dripping up the cliffs. Seb & Dale throwing their 2 liners about. Avon Posse having a great time and some Joint Services.

Too many Pilots too mention but an Avon Posse were on our tails. It was a strong, cold morning.
I couldn't feel my fingers after an hour so landed and decided to head to the Hive.

Several Avon Members and several Wessex enjoyed a couple of hours, some making it to Spittles just before Lyme Regis and others extending that journey to Abbotsbury, well done Sean. The 3 Amigos were up and down, back & forth, here and there. An interesting day .

Too many Pilots to mention, but one visitor ended up in a bush below White Nothe and much aerial activity was enjoyed.
