But I couldn&#8217;t be bothered with the drive, a 200 mile round trip, just for one day, since tomorrow is likely to be SE, a poor direction in the Peaks &#8211; nice for flying, no good for XC because of airspace. So I decided to have a quiet day in, but Mark Leavesley then phoned saying it was a nice 15mph on the SE face at Corndon. If it had been any further, I wouldn&#8217;t have bothered, but Kai was also going, so I thought it worth the 15 minute trip out.<\/p>\n<p>But it was predictably pretty poor. The wind was back to very light, and what there was, was SW rather than SE. There is a face on Corndon which sort of works in that direction, but today, in spite of the epic sky, it didn&#8217;t. Both Mark and Kai tried numerous times, but didn&#8217;t get up. In the end, I canned the day and left. Kai also left a bit later, but Mark did, eventually, get up and have a good day.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve not looked at the league results yet, but I&#8217;ll be amazed if there aren&#8217;t some really good XCs from the Peaks.
