The day started with an unpromising cloudy sky but then cheered up and we got the forecast thermals to 4k'. At least one of us had to resort to spinning and circling in sink to get down. Later on the forecast over development made it rather harder to stay up. However several cross country flights were made of over 3 hours duration. Lara spent some time perfecting her landings; Matthew converted to the Pilatus and the bus.
