As I set up after 40 minutes of sunbathing a huge gust came up the s face of black mount which made me think about launching that way but after standing with the glider above my head facing e to feel the air for a bit i took off and followed the wind round the hill - it was now blowing steadily up the n face!
Bob and i got some height and he made the move over the back at the right time while my lack of psyche continued and i landed down near the car park with the burger vans and the piper overlooking loch tulla. Quite happy to be on the ground i avoided the road and tramped the few k back to take off via deer tracks to find a rather red faced paul who had locked his car keys in his boot!
Only one thing to do! Hitch to meet bob g at the pub in bridge of orchy leaving paul to wait in the rain for the AA man. It was very pleasant sitting on the verandah with a beer listening to bob's stories of the 12m/s thermal he left after deciding conditions were a bit much!
typical warm sector clouds
gonna go bang sometime...
bob overdosed on two half pints as we waited for paul and had to have a senior moment in the car on the way back...
