We went up the hill early to get a morning flight. The launch was in wispy cloud and I launched to find myself at cloud base straight away. It was a little rough and I had a small frontal so I headed to the lower ridge where 4 newly qualified pilots were soaring. Having been thrown out of two thermals by them flying straight at me, I followed a bird out into the valley only to see it fly off (thanks!) and I went down. Nicky had flown out to the valley to a nice looking cloud which promptly disintegrated.<\/p>\n<p>Geoff picked us up and we drove straight up the hill so that Geoff could rig the HG but conditions were getting stronger and rougher for the PGs and I didn&#8217;t fancy it.
