Light to mod NNW early stable later excellent.

After, yet another, late night drinking at the Panera, the Dunstable boys may finally be reaching their alcohol intake limit. Even Graham look a bit off this morning and ducked out of the second flight.

Our first flight found good conditions on the hill, but the valley very stable. I was flying tandem with Peter, and we bombed at the bottom of the big spine. All the others landed back in town, perhaps Kenny making the best of it.

The second flight was only Kenny, John and Peter and I on the tandem. Great climbs to 2500m+ on hill and in valley. We stayed local, and landed after about an hour cruising locally.

The evening flight got a bit windy, but big dynamic lift and very smooth, with most of us landing after sunset.

Tomorrow promises a good day but with a bit of East, so Barco and the Cherry tree valley maybe!……….if the Panera bar doest claim victims of the whole group this evening.
