Saturday 8th September

A crisp start with quite a few people seeking training was followed by a sudden visitation by orographic cloud dramatically moving up through the trees from the valley. An aerotow was abandoned and tea was taken in the clubhouse.

 After that the brilliant sunshine and blue sky continued to tease members with the promise of something to fly in. Conditions were good for training, but with no thermal activity, it was circuits or nothing. Several people took aerotows in almost unnnaturally calm skies, but nothing defied gravity and it was a matter of returning to earth slowly but surely.
