Had been a very warm day.  Took off from Howgate but could have taken off almost anywhere.  Easy smooth flying.  Wind dropped to SSE 10 when I landed.  9:00 pm

SW 9-14

I was at Broughton on Sat the 12^th about 6:30.  It was blowing 16-25.  Earlier TT said SW 9-14.  Called again from Broughton and got SW 9.

WEST

General note.  I’ve found on quite a few occasions, when the wind is from the West the TT tends to under read.  I’ve been at the mast in these conditions and it would seem the wind is just light at the mast but blowing most other places.
