Saturday 10th October

The hangar was unpacked and gliders readied in thick fog, flying started with low cloudbases late morning. The sky opened up nicely with west-north-westerly streets and cloudbase around 1400ft but it quickly rose to 2000ft and there was an empty launch point and it was soarable til gone 5:00pm. The first batch of Exeter University freshers enjoyed their trial lessons and several have decided to continue their training. There were a couple of visitors from Brentor.

News from Talgarth
Just Simon M and Stu P at Talgarth today. Fantastic day overall. Light westerly wind and good weather meant a good flying day! The main ridge was working and they had two flights totalling over 5 hours.

News from Portmoak

Very light winds today so we stooged up and down the ridge for about 3 hours - very relaxing start! - Pete S
