Rigged, followed Pete (above me). Followed Pete more (still above me). Got low at Cheively, slight poop on how low I was with no lift, asked Peter to call if he found a climb (still above me) scratched and got high enough to get back to Rivar landed and changed underpants. Big job done… It would seem the first thermal was a freebie, the rest you had to work for. Still it was flying, just not far. Rivar-Cheively, Newbury, Hungerford, Rivar. Depressingly small.
I did have my daughter, son in law, as well as Grace and Daisy turn up at the airfield. to wish me a happy fathers day. Priceless.
