Duck, the yachtclub reading is sometimes a bit "twisted" cause the wind channels along the mountain... Venturi at the parkinglot... so there the speed is a bit "twisted"...!! Lenticular on Chappies ATM, so whole of Sir Lowrys should be good...

Sir lowrys pass was excellent , a big fire next to the n2 at the botom showed the wind to be W , so it was a little bit side on .
The wind was pretty strong , i had to add 120g lead to my 450 glider to get it to penetrate the way i want it to , and my brother in law joined in after a while after also adding some lead. I will see whether the family will allow my to go to Chapmans or Signal hill tomorow , and maybe ill meet some of you guys.
