Wednesday started grey and damp
but the gliders were all out early in anticipation of better weather to
come, but by midday the cloud base was still about 300ft, so an early
lunch was called for.
After lunch the weather was slowly improving but some members started to drift away, so
a weather check flight was called for, the flight indicated a cloud
base of 1,200ft with only a small amount of wispy cloud below the main
base which didn't pose a problem to safe launches.
As
the afternoon progressed the weather improved and it became soarable,
many flights took advantage of the improving conditions.
We had a visitor from the hanggliding / microlight fraternity, Peter
Sm obliged and flew the trial lesson, there were no private gliders
flying today.

Andreas seems to have given up thermal avoidance, once
again having one of the longest flights. - JSt
