More thermals on Scafell


Wasdale is becoming like a second home at the moment. This time we spotted a glider high above the cliffs of Scafell Crag. It wasn't a particularly sunny day so I wasn't sure that there would be strong thermals. My new hypothesis is that the air coming in off the Irish Sea is forced upwards by the mountains and that this will give lift. But we were wondering where the glider would be able to land. It's more tricky than a paraglider!
