Whilst conditions didn't seem to match the weather forecast and were not the easiest, we enjoyed another day of wonderful Milfield soaring today. Roger Starling once again made a pig of himself with a 4h 20m flight but was beaten to Hog of the Day title by Andrew Cluskey who managed 4h 25m ! Mind, Andrew Johnston clocked up 5h 40m in 2 flights - these visitors do make the most of their trips.
Although conditions were tricky and it was quite rough there were some descent thermals around. Your blogger shared a thermal with Bill Winthrop which for a while was averaging 7.5 kts ! And, of course, it wouldn't be Milfield without a spot of wave. At the end of the day the thermals were working up into a raggy line of lift which eventually turned into wave but which only worked to around 5000'.
Your blogger has flown at Milfield since 1975 and is still discovering new sights. I think this is one of the more impressive hill forts which, I think, is on Mow Law, just South of Yetholm. I can't ever remember seeing this before. Wow !
