Tuesday
An interesting start to the day with low cloud with signs of high wave above. The locals must have thought it was going to be good as two of them launched at 07:30 declaring 1000Km.
It was 10:00 before the cloud cleared off the hill enough for the rest of us to begin launching.
The Vega was kept flying all day with each of us having a 2 hour plus flights.
These flights were made up of hill and thermal soaring as we were unable to locate any wave no matter how hard we tried. What wave that was found (up to 12,000 feet) by the local pundits was contacted a lot further north that we dared to fly.
The two early starters arrived back at lunchtime after completing 500Km
We however had a very enjoyable days flying.
We dined in Kinross this evening, after which I introduced the others to the sport of curling.
