Wednesday 12th April

The weather at North Hill seems to have reverted to winter after the warm weather of late -  it was back to winter clothing.

The strong northwesterly wind suggested the ridge should be working and indeed it was with some unexpected strong thermals as well, on most flights it was reasonably easy to stay up and everyone had a soaring flight.

James Smart had some more solo flying after his successful course last week, Nick Harrison and Pete Startup flew their own gliders and John Sillett looked after the Trial lesson visitor, Pete Warren flew the tug.

In the afternoon the weather improved considerably with wave, thermal and ridge lift the only disappointment was the 2,000ft cloudbase. - John Street.
