Default Mountain waves in the north


In the tail end of an expired hurricane, over the Great Glen, even at
Vne
with the brakes out we were still going up. 12,000 (-ish :-) feet,
vario pegged, no oxygen on board :-(((

Had to spin the glider to get down, and saw a beautiful Glory as we did
so, and no cameras on board either...


AAARRGGHH!
