Today saw a slow start despite wave being forecast. Although there were signs of wave, with a rather raggy gap between the site and Wooler, the first few launches weren't very succesful. However, Alastair Fish, with his glider fully fettled from its ARC, found reliable lift and was away !
The wave got better later in the day, producing a climb to just over 12,000', but was rather localised which the photo below illustrates. Having said that there was reduced sink to the N of the site allowing Bill Stephen & Kate Ashley in the K21 and Jules Sutton in the Lak a romp out to Berwick and back. Cheviot does generate some wonderful wave !
