Yesterday's gales gave way to a transient ridge which as luck would have it came through during the day. The wind started off just west of north but fairly light, and the cloudbase was around 2000ft above North Hill. There were 2 K21s a K13 and 2 Juniors from the Club fleet and 4 private gliders rigged.
The thin upper cloud cleared and some nice streets formed for a while, but the ridge never worked very well.

After lunch the wind had backed to south of west, and the cloud started to fill in and lower as the next front started to make it's presence felt. The drizzle started at about 16:00, but everyone flew with 43 launches.
Eric A had the longest flight in one of the Juniors at 52 mins as he caught the best of the soarable weather beating all the private gliders that had rigged. - J&P
