Saturday 23rd April

A lovely sunny start but with a very slack wind which proved to be quite a fickle problem as it turned out to be downwind at whichever end of the field we set up and massive sink in the low circuits. With a consistent north westerly wind forecast we sat it out until the cu started popping irresistibly. Phil M ASH25(711), Roly Kestrel(523), Mike Fitz (Junior), Phil G (Pilatus), Simon L (Junior) all had good local soaring flights until some flashing and banging started from the rapidly towering CBs and we had to call them all down. The airfield luckily avoided all the rain but we understand that Honiton 4 miles south got a soaking.

PS Inter-Club League at North Hill next weekend, Andrew still needs volunteers for Pundit on Saturday and help with the met. and task-setting.
