Geoff writes: well, the forecast was right – today was rubbish, cloudy and windy, with  a few bits of rain here and there, so yet another, tedious, work day. Tomorow is northerly, but probably too strong for Llangollen, so either a short 15 minute drive to Sarn, or a long 2.5 hour drive to Lord’s Seat. Lord’s is definitely the better site; on the other hand, I have a 100% record of going XC from Sarn (though I have only flown it once, earlier this summer!). At Sarn, I’ll probably be on my own, or just with one or two others. At Lord’s, there will be dozens of pilots, lots of people to fly with and lots of markers. Lord’s is easily soarable whilst waiting for a thermal, Sarn less so, and has some large trees right in front which can cause rotor in strongish winds. So if they were equidistant, no contest, Lord’s every time. But it is a long drive there.
