Arrived 10 o'clock and found few people flying in very light conditions. Broken and small thermals. Clouds looks good, but no lift under them. Some how I climbed with three other about 12 o'clock, but my vario says "NO" and my batteries went dead. I landed to fix it... The same time wind have changed direction to SSW! Crap. I managed to have another flight just about 3 o'clock when nice cloud street was close enough to catch it. With cloud base around 800m above take off we stayed for over next hour. It was late to fly XC, so I had a few thermals and landed at 5. Wind get back to W direction... but to light to stay on the ridge. Good day. Lesson learned: Check your batteries before you fly!
