Thursday 5th January

It was a lovely sunny start with just a light breeze from the east, the pleasant forecast had brought out many members, so two K21's, two Juniors and a K13 were walked up the field.

Cold dry morning at North Hill (Mike Sloggett)
The first flight with Mike Sloggett and Mark Layton found some shortlived weak wave in the Broadhembury valley and it proved to be the best flight of the day from the winch of 18 mins. There were quite a few currency checks and most flights were extended circuits with lots of reduced sink. With so many members around, we staggered the lunchtime, but during the afternoon some cloud moved in dropping the temperature.
Interesting cloudscapes for Mark to get arty! (Mark Layton)
New member Glenn Turpin who has joined us from Keevil had his first solo flight at North Hill.

It was yet another very pleasant winter Thursday with a very busy launch point all day,with a total of 48 flights.
