Sunday 26th April

Saturday's superb afternoon  thermals were followed by some pretty good ones on Sunday. After a slightly tricky start the lift built up steadily and, for a few hours, we had cracking conditions. Your blogger flew around the 'Old Gits' Triangle' albeit with a large detour on the way to Rothbury when rain looked to have killed the task. Having diverted to Powburn a clear slot emerged allowing the task to be completed. Adrian Loening went on an exploratory trip towards Whiteadder Reservoir but turned back at Duns, again because of the showers. Eventually these became quite widespread and, with some being of sleet and snow, this put and end to the days flying.
