I flew on Minch, conditions were great 8 to 10 MPH with some very strong lift; in one  flight I was climbing at 500 fpm from low down and got away from 75 ft

We (AndyG, Andy Eyeboy and Sparky Ben) were flying at Selsley from 3pm until just after 6pm. At times there were some good thermals interrupted by massive sink. We also had the added bonus of some of the paragliders flying directly in front of the slope! :wacko: Just for fun, I had the voice alerts switched on on my vario, and I think my Graphite got to 129m above the point of launch. So not too bad.

Frocester - good lift
