By lunch time I had almost given up hope of flying down to the increasing wind speed, but after a call from Matt it looked good to go at Beardown. I arrived as Matt launched and zoomed straight up in strong conditions relishing his warm legs in his new pod.
Wasting no time I was right behind and soon we were both boating around the valley between 400 and 600ft most of the time, unfortunatly the sky had completely closed in but that did not stop embedded thermals coming through. Luckily these were not to strong to disrupt the wave coming from the hill in front, which was very smooth and extensive. The bowl here really does work very well mainly becasuse of the hill in front being in-phase.
The site has great potential and is one of my favourites to fly, it rarely fails to work if the wind is on.
