Mission From Moir's

Well this is the most pilots I have ever seen at Moirs at one time, at least 10 PG and 2 HG. Conditions are looking pretty good although it is forecast to swing to the SE later. An earlier rather than later launch is the plan. One drawback to so many on launch is the waiting for others to launch. Some are getting some good height but it appears no-one has gone over the back. Once we are all in the air it becomes interesting as we effectively spread out in search of the lift, some getting reasonable height for while then suddenly appearing back at the ridge, but it is not to be, after about 45 minutes what lift there is suddenly shuts down and those not able to top land end up down on the LZ paddock. Only 2 or 3 of the usual suspects manage to flick over the back for some reasonable distance, the rest of us are left pondering what happened.

Once again it looks promising. At launch it is stronger than I hoped, and slightly off to the South East. Nick Stead arrives and we sit contemplating the chance of getting airborne. It doesn't look good. We decide to give it away and go see if we can christen a new SE site to the South of Moirs. Unfortunately the land owner is nowhere to be found, so the opportunity slips by until another time.
