With the arrival of Cirrus the sharp walls of the thermals disappeared and I found myself scratching over North Gate Road in weak lift.
Ironically, my visit wasn't just for thermals. For the last two days I was thinking about how The 1000 Footer let me down. I always felt The 1000 Footer and I, were in this Diablo flying thing together. It was always there for me, when I sunk out, scratched too long or couldn't get up. But, two days ago it got angry and didn't want me around. Today, I was here to make amends. Fortunately with Cirrus as an excellent mediator The 1000 Footer shouldn't be in such a hot headed mood so I headed over.
I called Teri on the the Radio and with her blessing brought it in. With the 1000 Footer in a good mood I had a textbook landing and I am glad to say we are now friends again.
