Forecast was for windy but the Butte was allowing us to fly. Winds from south allowed soaring and isolated climbs out to 2200m, rough sharp edges but enough to let us reach the rim. Slowly climbed out on the rim over Farnhams to 2600m the pushed ahead towards Mansfield, long periods of shade were subduing the dust thermals but the air was buoyant with some good lines, keeping above the 2200m line. The push to Mansfield found the sink lines, ignored a dusty to the north and south looking for a climb from Mansfield town. This did not work out, landed just passed Mansfield beside the main road.
Lessons
Take and enjoy the opportunity to push and practice alone
