Forecast was NNE in the morning moving to ENE in the afternoon. I headed to Harting, arriving around 11am, it was indeed NNE and a nice 12mph at launch. Quickly rigged and had a flight out the the beacon, not a whole load of any lift, then it went like a washing machine and had gone East.
Julian turned up but had forgotten parts of his VQ. I decided to go to Mercury.
Arrived around 1.30pm, wind NE, swinging between NNE and ENE, not easy but I rigged and after a short wait had a fly. Pretty cra* to begin with, then I got a climb that allowed me to fly up to the N end of the ridge, still not a whole load of anything, windy at times. Ended up going down between cycles.
A beautiful day on the downs and I made a new friend....
