Thursday 18th June

A cold front went through overnight, but the sky did not clear as might be expected leaving a high, thick layer of cloud - cutting down solar heating significantly. The stiff westerly breeze meant that the ridge was working.

There were many members and visitors wanting to use the two seaters. For quite a bit of the day the entire Club fleet was airborne. Despite the high cover thermals and streets to 2600'QFE were plentiful, and the two seaters were called down from their soaring at six o'clock to fly the evening group.

Colyton Scouts came back for their second visit, numbers boosted by good reports after their first visit last week. The fresh breeze meant high launches, the ridge was working and there were still some sort of thermals into the evening. A total of 21 launches, and many happy faces.
