Terrible day! Managed to get to start height (2000 ft) after delaying launch for a better slot. Should have waited 2 hours more! Scraped to the first turn point, managed to get around then turned back to the only piece of lift I could see. Managed to get to about 1500ft and aimed at a Cu-Nim for a cloud climb. Unfortunatly all I got was rain, and then a field to land in. Nice field though joined another glider! Then had a very easy de-rig and drive home. First field landing of the year.

Time?? distance 25km! (Could have gone further in a straight line...)
