These values may be lower than those shown by a flight instrument, which has access to continuous raw data.

Red values indicate suspect data, because the tracklog contains invalid points.

Metric units are used for all chart data, except for Height which is shown in feet.

Very interesting day out with Gavin today. We walked up Cnoc an t-Sithean Mor on the north side of Strath Rusdale. Wind was just about soarable and cloud cover circa 90%. It looked windy higher up to me. We discussed an XC downwind but I wasn't keen due to various factors (blisters, time constraint, windy higher up etc), so we figured we'd just boat about in front of the hill for a bit. It didn't look very thermic anyway. Wrong!

We launched into ubiquitous and powerful lift. Everywhere we went we were going up at between 0.5 - 5 mps! I was nervous as we got pulled higher & higher towards the total cloud cover. We put in big ears, did 360s and used full bar to try to keep away from base. At one point I watched Gavin - with big ears in - rocketing up at 3mps!

We decided to stay below 1000m, giving us a decent margin below base. We had to work hard to achieve that. We pushed out towards Alness & flatter, lower terrain. Things calmed down a bit. We decided that an XC downwind was on after all. We cruised along in gentle lift for several kms and finally hit sink! Then we couldn't find a therm for a bit & when we did it was broken and nasty. Gavin flew it better than I did and bought himself another 10kms or so. I landed in a field near Edderton. Gavin crossed the Dornoch Firth and landed up near Loch Fleet. Probably a 35km XC for Gav.

The views throughout the flight were awesome. It's the first time I've flown an XC near the coast and it was awesome to see the rigs in the Cromarty Firth and the east coast and to the west we could see Stac Polly & Cul Mor.

The retrieve involved quite a bit of hitch hiking. Both of us had a lot of traffic pass us without stopping. B******ds!

All in all though a great day out. Where the hell did all that lift come from?
