The day started with very few members and the cloud
was on the ridge. Les and team took the opportunity to do some cable
repairs to the winch.
We started launching about 11 ish into a 1000ft
cloud base, Mark C ASW20 ENW, Stuart LS3 KMV, Andrew L K6 GDE and Phil G B4 all hoping for
the ridge to work but it did not, and the first few flights were
extended circuits. Then a few thermals started and a few of us enjoyed
local soaring up to 1700ft - not epic, but Stu managed to fly for over 2
hours for the longest flight of the day, Mark took a 3000ft aerotow and got into a
bit of wave.

it was good to see John P flying solo again with a nice soaring flight.
The day ended with the ridge working in beautiful sunshine and all having good flights, Henry finished off the day taking his first flight in his newly acquired Cirrus enjoying the ridge after a 3000 ft aerotow. - Stu
