Portmoak Expedition - Day 5 (Last Day!)

Well our last day was a little hit and miss ... Mike 'hit' some of the remaining low level lift on Bishop Hill then found some thermals to stretch his flight to about an hour. However, both Paul & Jenny 'missed' all lift as the wind died down to almost nothing ... so both landed within a few minutes of each other following a brief circuit.

Mick was laid up due to a few back problems, but Don went off early with John Williams hoping to do a fairly good cross country flight (and learn a thing or two!). Due to the wind not playing ball, they still had a reasonable flight for a couple of hours but stayed local.
We later de-rigged and had a really good steak meal at the club. Home tomorrow!
