Arrived at Bald Hill at 6pm and launched by 6:10.
My first flight was about 20 minutes then 2 short flights of about 5 to 10 minutes each.
Top landed the first 2 times then landed in the park for a picnic dinner with Annette, Toby and Kate.
The last launch was interesting as when I brought the wing up the wind swung around to the west and the wing followed round. It took a short wait until the wind resumed nut from the ENE and very light so I ended doing a running back launch facing up towards the East Launch.
