Gee, its been 3 months since I was last here, and this could well be the last flight of the season.
As usual it looked promising. (I try not to go when it doesn't).
So I got to the car park around 1230 and found Adrien waiting for me, his first time to Moirs and he wasn't sure where the launch was.
Out at launch the wind was on the money, but there was still a fair bit of cloud; although it was breaking up upwind. So after a site brief we proceeded to kit up. Scott then showed up, another 1st Moirser and another who didn't know how to get to launch (?), and after another quick briefing we continued to get ready.
Adrien launched first and I followed at about 1340. The air was smooth, interspersed with broken thermals, some quite boisterous, but I was unable to cling onto anything substantial for any worthwhile length of time.
Scott launched and we boated around, rising and falling, never getting too high. After about 40 minutes of this I decided to head out and land in the valley, so I would have time to walk back to the car and get home at a reasonable hour.
The other two stayed in the air for a couple more hours, Adrien top landing, and Scott eventually landing down in the valley for his pick up.
