2010-01-19 Maes Knoll
The wind was ESE which is spot on for Maes Knoll which is about 1/2 hour away from home. Trouble was it was a bit strong. 18-23mph on the top, then 25-30mph.......... It felt fairly smooth so up we went. Unfortunately it was a bit lumpy in the air. Probably because the terrain out front is a bit undulating. So in the air you went up rapido sometimes and sometimes not. Plenty, plenty rustling from the canopy as well. I suppose the front edge was having to dig into some meaty lumps of air and responded accordingly........ Had to be very cautious about getting high as wind up there would easily blow me over the back!! On a Nova Ibex15. Doesn't bear thinking about on anything bigger.................
