Gusty Blackheath

On Saturday I had a short flight in Blackheath. Right after take off the wind picked up and I was flying backwards. Pushing speed-bar released me from the compression zone of the hill and I went forward to avoid being blown to the lee side. The is almost no landing options in the bushes. Then I played a bit in  the thermals with birds and then I went to the landing zone. The wind was gusting up to 17 knots and it is not fun to fly in such conditions.
