Arrived early afternoon - only Brian C. there! A bit strong and gusty at times but forecast to drop through the day so rigged the hangie in anticipation. Three more arrived, including Tony S. and Steve G. As ever, Tony was keen so the rest of us let him "wind dummy". Not terrific height for the windspeed, but eminently soarable. Best lift tended to be in the bowl as the wind was off to the north. I joined Tony and we shared the bumps. Steve soon followed. Tony top landed and wrote off an upright and bottom bar. (He got gusted up then dumped heavily on the A-frame.) Later I was joined by an ATOS which thrived in the stronger conditions. Some strong cores at time, but bumpy.
Clocked up nearly an hour's airtime - most welcome. Later, the para-waiters had the slope to themselves as the wind dropped sufficiently for them to have a turn. The lift seemed disappointing, though.
Left just after 6pm - a lovely clear, sunny evening.
Brian.
