Saturday 14th May - Westbury

 
Saturday 14th May - Westbury
 
A good 1/2 day. I had to be at my Son's school (10 miles east of Westbury) by 2:30, so was relieved that RASP said the good thermals would be from 11:00 till 1pm. By 1pm I was circling up to base, despite the 5mph wind at takeoff (westbury works so well). I then flew 8 miles NNE to Lyneham airspce, then west past Bath to between Frome/Midsommer Norton for an approx 25 mile square, landing back at Westbury at 1pm where it was OD'ing. Base rose from a modest 3500 to 5000 by 1pm. Thermals were predictable, generally around 4up but up to 9up underneath the big dark clouds.
 
As I was winding down Bruce & Grant were climbing out and setting off, Bruce getting to somewhere near Combe (where did Grant go?). Neil made it past Pewsey. One of my best 2 days out this year so far.
