Sunday 12th December 2010

The day started with a big breakfast in front of the roaring fire.  Clear skies and easterly winds brought a number of people out to play.

The wave was unreliable and confused all day (or was it us that were confused), a few flights managed to contact the wave---probably as it came into phase. Jacob and I climbed to over 3000ft sometimes in off the stops lift/rotor.

 Martin Smith gets the wooden spoon for the day by taking a negative climb in the Zugvogel into a field in the valley. Seriously though, a bit of bad luck but a good field and simple retrieve. Thanks to Chris Kaminski for going to fetch him.

Hopes for silver height claims and bronze legs came to nothing , but as they say, we should always travel hopefully.

Everyone had a great day, with the whole fleet out of the hangar.
