Report from White Horse

 
     
A totally different day at the Horse to yesterday. Very East and rough edged thermals.
Even Adrian C came and landed and packed up. Still some rough airtime was had by a few.
Not even a 3 according to Ali F's gauge.

Report from Ringstead

   
At last a decent couple of hours in the air sadly it was the wrong Site as the record was broken at Whitehorse 3 times well done those Pilots.
Nevertheless we had a Coast Run but not much further than Durdle Door ( several times) Leading the way was Sean on his Photon.
It was a wait for the wind and meantime we were watching others at the Horse climbing it was a tough decision.

Report from Ringstead

   
2 Sites in a day most welcome. Thermic cycles on the ridge and then stay uppable.
However caution was required as it was forecast to pick up. Several brave souls ventured to the cliffs only to have a walk up. Gradually got better with direction and several made it to the cliffs only to find in a short time it was too strong to stay airborne.

Report from White Horse

   
As I approached along the track 2 wings doing well at 1000' above take off.
On arrival it proved to be thermic cycles. Nonethelesslit proved worthwhile and a good time was had by all.
