Arriving at the end of Moir Road, Trisha mentions how hazy it looks. Even she knows that it doesn't bode well for cross-country flying.
And so it came to pass, an inversion at 2500ft was going to limit our day.
Another good turn-out of pilots, including three hangies. For some reason we all waited for Jeff to launch, and then there was a constant stream until the hillside was almost bare.
Launching after a little two-step shuffle, I was soon below launch by 40 metres, pooh, partly from avoiding traffic, but also from a wrong choice, so headed for the righthand spur and found lift back up.
The righthand bowl was working best, about half an hour in I got my best thermal which I took to the inversion were I got jostled around hoping to break through.
Everyone that went over the back did so with less height, but I lingered hoping to crack 3000ft. In the end I settled for a leisurely fly out over the landing paddock to join the others.
The best flight I have had at Moirs for awhile.
