Joined Danny at Big Collin yesterday. Wind 8-9-10mph was off to the ESE. Danny did a couple of low beats and slope landed. I got five minutes working small thermals drifting up the hill, too small to get a decent turn in. Bottom landed near the cars.
We then went to Shane's Hill. More into wind but too light to soar. Trudged along to the south end of Agnew's Hill and hung around with Richard, Mervyn, Colin D, Walter and Geoff but wind didn't co-operate! I took off and flew back to Shane's where I top landed, packed up and walked back down to the car - as did most of the others apart from a couple who had enough height to fly back to the cars.
I left and returned to Big Collin with a view to getting one of my nearby students out. Wind there was perfect for a student - steady 8-9mph bang on the ESE slope. Unable to contact student, so went home - turns out he had left his 'phone in the office!!!!
