Report from Portland West

 
     
A morning at Fraggle Rock. The wind was WNW (perfect) forecast to go W and then WSW.
Took off on the spur after a walk up due to a traffic jam.
Enjoyed nearly 2 hrs of sublime coastal flying in the company of a couple of Peregrine Falcons and 3 compatriots. It turned W and as it went towards WSW we all landed at the bottom and enjoyed bacon and sausage butties at Quiddles cafe.

Report from the Jurassic Coast

 
     
A day we anticipated going to Bell but driver decided Eype was the place We three headed off and it proved quite westerly but we enjoyed 45 mins of wafting about.
On the way homeward we heard it was flyable at Ringstead so we had 40 mins there and with increasing wind decided to land.
However, after arriving at home we heard that conditions became much more favourable, typical. Though the best turned out to be at Bell.
