Comments:Comments: WJ 5, Arrived early, to find light Easterly with mega looking sky. Had two frustrating flights before finaly getting away on my third, following dad, who had gone 10 mins ahead of me. Climb out was pleasent enough, a good 4 - 6 up, but only to about 3500', then glided across the valley to a gorgeous looking cloud, and sure enough, 6 up all the way to a 6500' base!!! the climbs were good behind the hill, but the clouds had a strange alighnment, whereby they seemed to be streeting almost due East - West, but they were drifting due north. this meant that i had to do many long de-tours to get into good air. I had one nice low save from around 700' at about the 70km mark. It was funny how my personal goals changed throughout the flight, starting at beating shedsys flight the day before, ending up at doing my first 100km!! landed at Talgarth, past hay bluff, 110km. Lets hope tomorow is as good!!!
