Corryong

No free time between the end of the Bogong Cup and start of the Corryong Cup.   Driving over from Mt Beauty the weather doesn’t look good for flying.  99% cloud cover in all directions.  About midday though it started to open with breaks here and there but there is also a big ugly storm on the other side of the valley.  Under overcast skies a few guys got off and didn’t sink out like the rest of the pilots.  I gave it a shot but could never get much above launch.  The thermals were there but they weren’t strong enough for me to gain much height.   A few guys got good glides to squeak out of the 5k Exit circle.  In the meantime I just scratched my way all the way to the dirt to land with some cows.
