It was easy to cross Hive and Freshwater but a bit of a scratch at the western end of West Bay with someone right behind me but the wind changed to SW and we cruised over Golden Cap and went down to Charmouth and beyond.
At Charmouth low cloud was accompanied by increasingly closer streaks on the water than it was cruise back to take off. A member of the public called the Coastguard as she had seen a PG over the sea but all was well apart from the Pilot going at -6 trim, he landed safely.

An easy transition over Lulworth and on to Gad Cliff then 3 onto Hound Tout but, I remained on Gad clifff Attempted to cross Kimmeridge. Bay to Clavells Tower 3 times but thought better of it. Glad I did as when the 3 returned 2 bombed just before Gad Cliff I then hovered and waited to see what would happen. One tried several times to get off and walked back to a higher point where he was successful the other walked backed to Kimmeridge. So I took the back ridge to the Dinosaur Museum by the village at Kimmeridge.
Landed safely and made a call . The soul who landed at Kimmeridge Bay could not manage the walk so I had to use all my charms to avoid paying £6 Toll Rd Fee to pick up the tired soul. Word of warning land above Kimmeridge Bay safely if you can to avoid your retrieve having to fork out £6.

Whereas we spent the morning rigging 2 harnesses and repacking the reserves.
After lunch we sojourned down the coast from Ringstead to Kimmeridge with low cloud and low height.
The usual lifty bits were not lifty and the wind had shifted from SSW to SW so caution was required.
A big shout to Charles B for making his first run from Ringstead, we ended with a shandy at Clavells Pub.

Going round Golden Cap was not the usual struggle and good height was gained there and at Thorncombe Beacon.
All in all 10 out of 10 for the flights.
