Well what can I say!
The reason for a lack of a report is simply down to the fact that we have been getting rather a lot of flying in since we got here. On Saturday the ridge was working and many had flights of over two hours.On Sunday some of us contacted wave and climbed to just 5000 ft before the wave collapsed and we had to make a speedy descent before we lost sight of the ground. Monday was thermic and mostly blue but we still managed over two hours of local soaring each.
Today fluffy white clouds appeared so Carol and I flew a small task of Sutton Bank, York, Ripon and back climbing to 5000 ft over Rufforth.
As I write Chris is still flying last heard of near Barnard Castle, we have warmed up the retrieve just in case!
More later.........................oh is that my mobile?

Don't listen to that daft sod. I got back after buzzing about for over 4 hours and had a great hoot.
