The usual swithering on teh phone to Tommy got things to do...might over develop...wind uncertain and light....and so on. We decided to reassess at 9:45. At 9:45 it still looked good. Light SW going S and nothing on the forecasts to say OD. On Derek's advice not to over think it, we headed for Broughton and met Fred there for the walk up the hill. This had the usual discussion on the nature of existence and the ultimate purpose of mankind and so on.
What a nice day to be out on the hills. The big yellow ball thingy in the sky was nice and warm (must google what that was).
A good looking sky and a good forecast tempted a posse of the wingbeat crew to head for Bodesbeck.
And we weren’t the only ones - a few keen LLSC chaps were walking up from the Moffat road side of the hill. Shocker of a climb.
Tommy was already on top when Rob and I arrived.
A bit of chat about where to go flying today, if there is any South in the wind we have lots of great options, we even have one that you can drive right onto the launch...on a tar road.
We arranged to meet at high noon just in case it was not flyable so we could have a fight instead, Ahem.
Sunday morning. 8am. pretty poor visibility in Lockerbie but reports from up the country of better conditions so a plan started together on the group.
Tinto? Dungavel? Cacra? BlackKnowe Head? Mountbenger? Foulshiels? or Wichieknowe?
