40min
Max Altitude (asl):
1140m

SE

Notes:
I reverse launched and maintained to the right of launched for 5 min before gliding to the front; couldn't find useable lift over the cliffs so I glided towards the base of the Cut and thermalled up until the thermal drifted to the edge of the No-Fly zone and forced me to leave. I spent rest of flight lower on the slope.
