it's a breeze!


It's not often that a sea breeze works in a Kentish soarer's favour. With the mainland swathed in Sunday southerlies, Warden Bay and its easterly cliffs seems like an unlikely location to get some flying in. But as any die-hard slope addict knows, it's always worth packing the Alula when out on a family jaunt.

And so it was yesterday, with the Isle cooking nicely in late spring sun, the cool sea air got pulled onto, and straight up the muddy inclines.

Initially blessed with smooth lift for a good twenty minutes or so, the sun went in and soon after the wind suddenly turned through 90 degrees revealing its true heading and killing any prospect of further fun!
