Wednesday 1st August - Course week

Warm sector fog and drizzle persisted all morning with the promise that it would clear through by 2pm, so the morning was spent with lectures on circuit planning, loggers and Bronze local soaring tasks. After lunch it was clear that 2pm was a little optimistic, and the fog became thicker for a time. A clearance was promised for 4pm, and in the event, it came through very quickly. First launch was at 16:05 and all course members had 2 launches in the soarable gusty south south westerly conditions.
Ian practised field landing exercises, Gordon practised launch failures.
Justin and Gillian called in (by road) on their summer tour.
The evening group had been cancelled due to the forecast weather and very soon after packing the hangar the deluge started.
