Hi all,
First time using the blog so apologies if I get anything wrong.
Saturday is looking like a reasonable day to try and go further than 49.73km, so I was looking for some help to come rescue me if all goes wrong on this attempt.
I would be extremely grateful if people are ok to be on standby on Saturday (As long as the forecast holds) please let me know if you would be happy to do this. Thank you !
On a different note – The photo I have attached was from my 2 hour 12 min stint on the ridge from Sunday , surprisingly it was mostly thermals that were keeping us aloft, the best I found was 5 knots, in 25 kts of wind at around 1600ft above site, shame cloud base was only 1900ft. Lower down the ridge worked well even at 75 kts. I just wish the ridge was longer, next extension plan?!
Can you spot the glider?
Regards,
Daniel Weston.
