Chris D's 2010 diary

11 March,
 
3rd outing of the year, this time to Rhiw Wen. Got there around mid-day, where too light (decided this after watching Ben trying to launch whlst chatting in the car park !!). Around 2ish it seemed to have picked up a bit and the thermals could be felt coming through. Ivor and I had small flights then I managed a nicer one in which I managed to get 1,000 feet ato, pushed 2k along the ridge to the west but the wind there seemed to have an increasing amount of W in it, so headed back to take-off. Packed up around 3.30ish and drove away just as Ivor seemed to be getting some good lift. Judging from Paul H's diary the lift may have got a bit smoother/filled in a bit, perhaps the wind came more on again?
