Max altitude (feet) and Duration:4760 120 mins
Comments:Departed in big gaggle, drifted very slowly over the castle, lift petered out over Chirk I think. Headed for the Oswestry cloud and picked up lift with the others. Lost sight of those heading for Shrewsbury in the cold under the cloud and went off down the A483 with Stephen. Not much happening but picked up a thermal at Four Crosses, which made Rodney's Pillar easy to get-to. Rather surprised that there wasn't much there, so after a few beats landed by Stephen. Hitched back.
