Harting April 13th

Wind NNE-ENE 15-25 MPH   Tim, Alan, Jamie and I the only souls there. Too Windy and gusty for Alan so he never flew to my knowledge.   We all took off together around 13.15. Tim raced off down the ridge on his Atos leaving Jamie and I behind.   All 3 of us joined up at the Cocking gap. We headed across together but Jamie and I in radio contact decided to try and connect with an approaching cloud street half way across. We aimed towards the street and eventually got sucked up towards it. Tim raced off along the ridge.   Jamie and I enjoyed the next two hours between 3500 and 5500 ft jumping from street to street. We both flew over the Arundal gap to the other side before deciding to head back as clouds were thinning and looking fewer.   We both had frozen hands which put a bit of a shine off what was a great fun flight. Jamie and I landed around 16.30.   Jamie did around about 49 km out and return and I around 54 km out and return.   Tim landed just behind Harting.   If we could have had 5mph less wind would have been perfect conditions.   Tony
