Sedgefield Again

Flying at Sedge again today. No clouds this time, just some nice thermic flying. Bloody rough though - folk were having asymmetric collapses and full frontals.

I was flying one of the school Advance Sigma 5s..and after take off realised that one of the brake lines had snapped and tangled around one of the Ds - so I had a bit of a kink on the trailing edge of my wing... not too serious though.

Flew for about 20 minutes, but it was chucking me about quite a bit so came in for a top landing.

Had another flight later with my reaction which faired well. In the end though, just as I was coming back round to top land the thermal moved and I couldn't find enough lift it time - so down to the bottom to land.
