Last day at Aboyne

Final day here(Wednesday) and at last there is wave!
Monday was a good thermal day but unreliable . Set 250 kms abo-lgg-eas- abo but it went to worms near the Feshie valley, west of Linn of Dee, so I had to run downhill away from the unlandable moors(again) into the Linn of dee and towards Braemar I terminated with an engine start.
Tuesday overcast then rain.
Today looked very promising. launched to 3000 feet and spent 30 mins searching for wave until I went round the back(NE) of Morven when I hit the hotspot. 8 to 10 knots on the averager, vario off the stop 3 to 7000 feet in no time but strange wave with teriffic roughness around it. At that height I could see nothing but rain and darkness to the South, so elected to make a quick exit to derig and decamp before the rain. All accomplished just as the rain arrived!
