Wednesday 23rd March

Wednesday started with a clear blue sky and a little haze John Sil started the ball roĺling with the first flight before 10am.
The visibility and the sink were a bit of a problem at first with short flights all round, but Robert was first to soar with a flight of 45min, this prompted Tim J, Matt M5 and Nick H to rig their own gliders Matt fell out of the sky on his first attempt but managed 2hrs on his second, this was the longest flight of the day. Tim and Nick also had good soaring flights.
The wind picked up during the afternoon and the West ridge started to work, the thermals went to almost 3,000ft.
