Lovely day developing but ... Wether almost deserted. Excellent conditions ... wind square and 8 - 12pmh. Perfect.
No one except Geoff and I until a sole blue glider arrived
Jake had left hill as I arrived. Dean had left earlier still .....
Just Geoff, blue glider and I until .....
.... the boys arrived (Mike and Ben) with super retrieve, Anna.
Within 10 minutes we were climbing out.
Blue glider missed a cracking thermal. Note new Drumaldrace track.
Climbing to base in extensive lift.
Eventually met up at base .... a surprising 5,400' at this stage (about 12:45pm).
A distant view of the three peaks.
Ben working his own lift behind the hill.
Looking back on Hawes
Strong streeting development over moors to north ...
.... and continuing down Wensleydale to north side.
Big blue hole behind and over valley.
On glide
Long, sinky glide across valley to good cloud near Asgarth; Caperby visible.
Looking back upwind.
Climbing again, but very little drift.
Fun ... but going nowhere
Ditto
Geoff (red un red), Mike (Red un Blue)
