I wanted to fly from the top of Ben Vorlich since the day was sunny and the breeze was gentle, however it was blowing from the South, so that was back wind. I thought of taking off towards South and then turn around by the little col between Ben Vorlich and Stùc a' Chroin, but it was pretty clear that I would not have made it since there wasn't enough wind.... A pity since the fly down was promising and beautiful. Not many days like this in Scotland through the winter...
