Inversion

On Saturday our group was supposed to fly to Camp 360 to "Vol Bivouac" - however, the day was very strongly inverted (a layer of warmer air above cooler valley air), so the thermals weren't working very well.... Only three people managed to fly to the camp, with four others flying down to bomb-out, then catching a taxi, then donkeys, to the camp site. Julian and I had had several unsuccessful launch attempts (because of the very light wind conditions), so at the end of the day caught a taxi back down the hill and remained at the Colonel's Resort...

Several other Kiwis are here at Bir: Steve, Ko and Dave
