Superb views with the fog mainly staying over on the main slope but it did once creep up on us from behind.....
Here are some more pics from the day.
Slope Soaring Sussex is a friendly group of RC glider flying enthusiasts based in Sussex, UK.

We fly many types of RC gliders from conventional slope soarers to Scale, DLG, F3B, F3J, F5J, PSS and more. Our aim is to encourage and promote safe, responsible and enjoyable radio controlled model flying. New and experienced flyers welcome.

Flying above the fog
What an amazing day. Set off from home in dense fog and this remained the same until nearly at Devils Dyke. When I arrived and met up with Ian and Rob the Downs were just starting to poke through the fog making little islands in the fog.
We all walked along the main bowl and over into the field behind. There you will find a very shallow bowl beyond the next field. The wind was blowing just enough and together with the sun that helped with some week thermals we managed to get in a few hours soaring with the DLG's. Rob unfortunately didn't have a good day and retired early but Ian and myself carried on till 1.00pm.

On the way back we both soared a small hump about 10ft high in the very gentle 3 - 5 mph breeze (if you could call it that).

Well worth the effort as at home it has been languishing in dull misty conditions all day.
