My latest mountain wave soaring flight near The Vale. What a superb place to fly a glider... 800 feet per minute climb rate!
On this flight I wound up at 15,500 ft.
The beeping noise is *good* - an 'audio-vario' (faster beeps means faster climb)

I've had a fantastic 3 hour flight today in my glider, in Tasmanian mountain wave, up to 18,000 feet (that is the local airspace limit - the lift would have continued up to at least 25000!).
What an amazing way to spend an afternoon... floating on rising air, way up above the clouds :)
