What an Autumn! Left work at midday, passed the Dyke at about 1pm
where there wasn't much happening, collected my wing from the loft and
was on firle at 1.30. People thermalling 500ft-ish above both Bo Peep
and Firle. Scratched for 10 minutes then got a could climb upto
cloudbase (about 3400ft asl) where it was a chilly 4 celcius according
to my vario. Drifted a little towards Newhaven then pushed out towards
Lewes with a few others under great looking cloud streets, climbs upto
2.5m/s on the averager though mostly 1-ups, all marked by buzzards.
Whole ridge was working and the flats out in front, so easy enough to
stay up high. Sky started the blue out by 3pm so landed and beat the
traffic back to work. Hope nobody noticed the long lunch break.....
