was it flyable?

yes we got a small flight in, infact the furthest i have ever got out front with the least height i think the clowds may of been quite big. it was potentialy epic but i think without my vario it left me wary of how strong the lift was, so was playing it safe. wind was fine not too strong as always had good forward speed so there was never any worries that way, just there was always breaking rain cells.

still it was worth the run out my brian and ron don all had a canny flight, which with some balls a flight to newcastle could of been done on big ears and speed bar.

cheers gary
