2011/02/08 Tinto (GB) soaring

Hi All,
With Kenny's help I get today to Tinto south about noon. Sky covered 8/8. At the bottom there was no wind at all. Strange wind gradient caused some gusts starting from  hill's 3/4 height. At the beginning was quite hard to stay up but patient scraping provided me with a strange kind of the lift quite far away from the hill (over a forest). Nice soaring in gentle conditions for 1h30min and at zero celsius. When I couldn't stand the cold decided to land. A few wingovers, 's' descending technique and touch down. That was all, energy charged for the next few days :-)



Bye!
