Classic Devils Dyke day

Classic day at the dyke, more thermals than anyone could want. Mostly
blue but smooth thermals and little drift so really easy to climb to
3k then push many kilometers out in front along blue streets. Hill
didn't work too well but it didn't matter because everything seemed to
be lifting out in front. Some big triangles done today and others 60k
to Bexhill on Sea. Some scrappy Cu later over the back at about
3700asl but top cover late in the day (3 or 4 pm) spoilt things. By
this time most had been in the air for 4 or 5 hours and explored a lot
of sussex from up high so nobody complained. Amazing for late
september, in fact better than any day I can remember in July or
August this year. There's still some life left in 2009 - hoping for
more of the same tomorrow!
