Mercury - 22nd May

 
Mercury - 22nd May. Better than I expected. At 12pm it was quite light with small thermals toppoing out at 3000ft, but by 1:30-2pm it became more established and the thermals went to just over 4000ft, with 4-500ft/min, pretty much as RASp predicted. Light on the hill making it difficult to get up, but once up (and on a HG) you could jump the gaps between lift every 2-3 miles. I am constantly impressed by what is quite a small cramped hill - I bet we had better flying than those in the mountains in SE Wales. Nev.
