Example Tinto Trace - 4th July2008

This trace is from Friday 4th July, and hopefully gives an idea of what a wind graph at Tinto looks like for a thermic day with light met winds. It would be interesting to see other comments on different days set against the corresponding wind graph.



Take off was at 13:54 from above the quarry, with light winds just about sufficient to stay up. Big Tinto was working well with some easy cruising around. By 14:50 a big (ish) dark cloud had developed in front of the talker, I was under it from about 14:55 to 14:58 flying directly away from the hill (due south) at about 15kph going up steadily, about 700m in front of the talker.
