Here is what we missed at our Latrigg expedition ...the rotor was directly over the launch site from the Friday to Monday and we could only launch late in the day. The Helm bar would have been easily and safely reached from our home site of Skelling farm (nr Penrith jctn 39 on the M6)

I wonder if the sat pics show it as well ?
The site for an early world altitude record from 1939 was only 2 nm SE from Skelling farm.
Edensoaring opens up from the 10th May, so if you see more east wind get in touch and if there are enough people we could launch in to the "Helm" (the first 9 days are quite busy with 25 gliders booked in). The site could be useful for the occasions when east winds spoil the soaring on the east coast. BGA turning point list 11a came out last week with lots of new and useful points in the Lakes and borders, thanks Ian and Tim.
