We did a brief detour to Stratford station today so arrived on the heath just after 11:00am. No breeze at all to start with so we set up 1.5 sails with diamond rods assuming a SW wind direction.

On taking off I quickly found that there was air movement from the NW, that being the forecast direction, but it remained intermittent and light.

High cloud was moving from the NW and eventually cleared to blue sky but the cumulus clouds then established quickly.

There is a music event on Blackheath next weekend so we will probably try the QE park. We will also have to negotiate the Hackney carnival which takes place close to home on Sunday afternoon.
