"Floppy" thermalling yesterday.

Hi Graham, many thanks for the update. Itford yesterday came up trumps - as usual. I arrived around 1:30 the wind was better than forecast 16/18 mph straight up the slope - lovely. Had the hill to myself all afternoon. Took advantage of the situation and spent some time honing my advanced landing techniques. 'Tent Peg' and 'Inverted from a Bounce' coming on nicely - but my 'Downwind Tumbling Cartwheel' still looks a bit untidy! Finally left around 4:30 nothing broken and three glorious hours of fresh air and sunshine! Fingers crossed for more action next week - Terry B
