Gordon gets ready.What a crap day! Forecast was for WSW, fluffy cumulus and generally a classic Mynd day. It seemed a little south, but it was forecast to come round to the west, so no problem. We arrived to see Mark Leavesley and Steve Nash high but the drift was due south.

As the day progressed, the wind turned progressively south, rather than W and although people did hop off and fly, it was rough and nearly 90 degrees off, so they crawled south and then turned and shot north at hang glider speed. By 1pm we considered switching sites but reports from Clatter said it was too far off to the west and Elan Valley is closed for lambing.

By 6pm, we gave up and had an impromptu BBQ with Wayne, Michaela, Yaz, Paul and Harvey. People did fly in the evening (including Harvey and Michaela), but it never did come on completely.
