Having spent the morning at
home catching up with housework, occaisonally looking at spot the
gliders, I decided to deliver eggs to the club and have a cuppa. The
conditions on arrival looked very inviting and as there was a K21 parked
up I thought a solo
flight was well overdue. A winch launch with very little wind to 1000ft
QFE straight into a 4 knot thermal and soon I was at cloud base 3700ft
QFE. As it was an unexpected flight I didnt take my phone so no lovely
pictures but just under an hour and had to
land as I was well overdue my time for the ‘short trip to the club’

There were few members around today (with the ICL leg at Mendip GC) but Rowan in the morning and Steve W in the afternoon were kept busy with training flights, Stu and James hankering after aerotows
and several private owners flying the Club 100. Thanks to everyone for keeping the show running. 43 flights in total with Pete Startup turning Yeovil - Mudford Gate during his 3 hour flight.
A really lovely afternoon, let's hope the weather is as good for open weekend! - Lisa Humphries
