MOUNT CABURN TO |
UCKFIELD GOLF COURSE |
 |
June the 17th light S.S.West winds, small weak thermalls. Below is Glyndebourne Opera House |
 |
Glyndebourne is a 700-year old country house and opera house near Lewes in East Sussex, England. Since 1934 it has been the venue of the annual Glyndebourne Festival Opera. |
 |
Climbs from caburn were weak on this day. I took this picture after climbing back up from 400 ft over a field. The field was the light colored one left of the picture. |
 |
Off and on my way towards the gliding club. |
 |
Managed to avoid all gliders and tugs. Weak was still small, but i noticed a farmer turning the fields and about 30 sea gulls climbing away from this. So i took my chances and pushed on the speed bar and glided over to the gulls. |
 |
And was rewarded with some more lift, all looking good and then it ran out. |
 |
I arrived over the Golf Course at Little Horsted with hellos from Golfers and no sings of lift. Moments before this i was level with the power lines. The vario bleeped, but no room to turn, so I turned 180 and climbed just around 50 ft above the lines. |
 |
Played safe and landed here at Uckfields Golf Resort |
 |
Called into the Spa area of the club and grabbed a drink and called Trev, who had just landed at Caburn. |
 |
Here are the staff Catherine and Paul from the Spa center, nice and helpful people. |
 |
Trev Hurt former student came and collected me,, many thanks Trev. I owe you a beer or hopefully a lift when you do your next XC. |
