The Ranges were 'Inactive' so we could go beyond Lulworth. At first it was a tad turbulent on the ridge, Landed make some adjustments and then off we went and joined by the happy throng. I crossed Lulworth without any problem pursued by Steve and Derek with Alex overtaking on his 2 liner. Made the transition between Worbarrow Tout and Gad Cliff over to the back ridge and on to Smedmore Hill It was a little lumpy to say the least. I ventured as far as I dare but decided to get back to Gad Cliff , not much in the way of lift and Kimmeridge Car Park Bay looked the best option for a safe landing. Patiently waited for a lift back to Ringers which was blowing 25mph.

Decided to follow Angus to bottom land and found a lonesome thermal to take up and land in the bowl where I met Skip and a lift home.

Quite West to begin a slow trip to Thorncombe Beacon not much lift an a bun fight with 4 of us.
So back to T.O. for lunch, just at the wrong moment as it started to come more SW and good height on the Beacon.
Got into conversation with some visiting Pilots who had not been before . Then off to Charmouth with plenty of lift all the way.
Congrats to Jamie B, for his first time at Golden Cap and then on to Charmouth, well done.
Gradually it increased to the point where everyone landed at Eypenoyth on the beach.

I felt rewarded when I saw one wing maintaining, and it was off into thermal heaven, although the inversion only permitted a leisurely climb to 1500' above take off. The day just got better with several Pilots at height but max was 1700' above take off helped by the farmer gathering silage. A good day was had by all.

A bit of a wait for an hours flying. Debating about the short shower and the dark clouds heading for the Beacon.
So we flew to Eype some very low but all ended well.

Very odd conditions, wind was gusty because of the thermals which were broken.
Still no complaints as airtime is airtime as long as your still standing at the end of the day.
