Titlington

Sitting on the top of Titlington Pike with not a breath of wind and a grey sky. Hooked in and waiting for God knows what. We took off one by one drifting to the bottom landing field. Eric Bryson took off in front of me. When he was over the trees at the bottom he started to go up and up and up and up and then out the other side of the thermal without turning once??? I followed him off in nil wind hit the thermal and wound it back slowly to 1700 ATO. Not being too sure what I was going to do with my new found altitude and grey sky I decided to head off cross wind for Hepburn Wood. No special reason just to see if I could make it. Not only did I make it, I was rewarded with a solid 5 up from the corner of the ridge. This got me up to 2500 ATO and over the mast behind the ridge. I noticed a long line of cloud just east of me at about the same height. I wonder what this is? What’s causing it? I flew across to it and was met by the most amazing silky 2 up I’d ever come across. Convergence! On a crap day like this too. With one wing in the cloud and the other out I straight lined it all the way to Berwick. John Miller kindly picked me up and was astonished I made it this far….He wasn’t the only one
And probably my favourite
