Forecast promising for the day. WNW
Tips sent a message to let me know he was at the West site at Butser.
It was a cold ,frosty start to the day.
Tips was in the air when I arrived which was a good sign.
The wind felt raw and was off to the North . Tips landed for a chat. We were aware that is was a tad on the strong side and lively but lobbed off heading straight over to Oxenbourne, Tips had already flown over and back.
We both made it there and back and decided it was best to take the safe option and call it a day as thermals were kicking in and conditions a tad gusty. We packed and as we were leaving another pilot arrived. Being low airtime we suggested that he shouldn't fly.
He decided to sit it out in his car. I don't think he flew .
Alun Owen mailed to say he went to Butser early PM but conditions strong so he snipped some hawthorn which is now sprouting and spreading again. Well done Alun.
