Went to bell hill today to fly the Bobcat as the forecast was for 17 mph NW (Perfect)
Arrived at bell to find it covered in snow which was another bonus as it let me play around kiting the Bobcat all over the place skidding along through the snow.
When I arrived the wind was a bit light to soar so I enjoyed the hour or so playing around on the ground and enjoying the snow which is a bit of a rarity down here in the south of the U,K
When the wind picked up as promised I was easily able to soar the Bobcat with the wind blowing about 23 mph and slightly of to the north made for each downward beat of the hill an adrenaline fuelled ride as the speed of this little glider is very apparent. I have not had such a fun day in the winter for a long time.

More snow there than we had, ours had melted by lunch time with heavy rain.
