Consistency

The wind was the right strength but the direction was WSW. Not my favourite for Moirs.

It certainly wasn't crowded on launch, only Me, Myself and I, until Daron climbed back up from the lower West launch.

No punching thermals here, and after a quarter of an hour of mucking around I was in my usual position in the middle of the Bomb-out Paddock.

Daron on the other hand was more persistant and was rewarded with a slow climb over the back and a South Easterly ride to Wenderholm.

A New Year

Looks a possibility, maybe a little strong, but what the heck let's go have a look. Arriving at launch it is marginal, steady 22-25 km/hr min 15 max 30 ish. Sit and see if it changes. It does, strengthening slightly to 33 max, and swinging once again to the SE. Steve Dwyer and Les Graham turned up to show me how Hangies do it, and although Steve launched and soared for a while, Les didn't have a good day. The clouds finally gave up and so did I.

Inversion

Looked quite hazy with few clouds on the drive North, and sure enough these proved to be good tell-tales of an Inversion. At launch we appeared to be above the haze and the conditions were good for takeoff. Once in the air it proved difficult to get above 600m, and those that did found themselves back down with the rest after losing what they had. In the end I missed my opportunity to top land and ended my flight after an hour or so at the usual spot. First flight of the Season, forgot to set the GPS to log, and couldn't get Livetracking to work, a good shake-me-down flight.
