It wasn't that long 28 miles in one hour, Tom and i got to the Pulpit around 12:30 and it was OD and rainining so we waited for a while and it open up after 40 minutes but behind the opening there was another big black cloud i managed to take off, it was cross from the south so the ridge was not working and there were some birds flying outside and climbing so i followed them and got up to 1,200 mts ASL but it was very turbulent and i was surfing the front of the black cloud my idea was to climb over that and then go towards the back,and follow the blue opening (sun)it work for a while but every time i had to refuel for altitud that cloud would catch up and make things very unstable, i went west for 20 minutes then south west i was doing up to 70 kmh(42mph)with out speed bar, the flying was very active i pass Hwy 81 and then went West again flew for another 20 more minutes and it got OD everywhere so i could not find anything and landed before a ridge west of 81.
