It started well enough
Kaz got bitten
Beer instead of Blood not a good idea
With the forecast for the wind to drop from a fresh breeze to light one through the morning followed by rain in the afternoon we opted to give training a miss which proved to be the right thing as the rain arrived earlier than expected.
missing the early lot we arrived at St Agnes around 11.30 to find the wind easing back and a few para's flying.
Big G had already done a mini XC beyond the beacon in what had been quite thermic conditions, nice one. With the warm front on its way and the cumulus on their way (east) things were a lot quieter by the time we lunched. Kaz was not too impressed with the light lift but I hung in there and finally climbed up into the better air.
It was a fun flight and nice to be back on the Delta 2 working very light thermals up to around 500' or so and boy does it do it well, but the day had passed as far as getting away goes. Still good to see Wyn, Tony and Glen all super keen having been there since first light!
By the time we got home the drizzle started so good timing.
Party Girl kept going
all vamp'd out
