The wind was forecast to be light and variable so I didn't bother to suggest going sloping today but on looking this morning the wind was now forecast 10 - 14mph Westerly. Itford Hill then!
Me and Rob met up before 10.00 and took a lazy stroll up to near the top (by the post, you must know the post?) Well the wind was just wafting up the hill and no where near the Westerly as forecast. SW and 5 mph. After many attempts to fly and both Rob and I walking back and forth to collect our models in various locations along and under the hill top the wind suddenly played ball. 11.06am to be exactly correct. The wind blew and the thermals came through to give us half an hour of slope soaring fun. Not mega but a lot better than sitting in doors and hoping for the next slope soaring day.
Wonderful views and quite warm for this time of the year.
Roll on the next sloping session.
