The day started off well, with some fairly light north-westerlies and a clear sunny sky. We were all keen to fly, because we had to de-rig the DG and start heading home by 5. We had everything set up by 10 and Josh took the first flight with Mark in the DG by 10:30.

The first few flights were short, but were very good circuit practice for the new location. Later in the day, thermals began to develop and flights became longer. We had a few good flights before we decided it was time to de-rig and head home.

The journey was uneventful, and most of us made it back to North Hill by 21:15. Huge thanks to everyone who made the trip possible! We had a lot of fun. Massive thanks to the Midland Gliding Club for being incredible hosts and providing us with such an epic experience! - Oscar Leeson
