Its been a long time coming so more in hope rather than expectation I headed to Cox Tor for the forecast drop in wind speed this afternoon. On arrival it was gusting to 24mph but soon dropped off to reasonable levels after 10 minutes or so!
Once up and away the air remained sightly gusty but with good ground speed once away from the middle ridge and with plenty of lift about, most of it a good way out from the ridge. This seemed to peak just above the cars at the base of the hill. All in all I had a smashing 45 minute flight in testing conditions, what a pleasure it is to fly such a competent and quick wing
