Another good March day! the thermals started before 10am and lasted until 5.00pm the fresh north north-westerly cross-wind made for some interesting flying, particularly on the aerotow climbout over the ridge. Our three newish members Wynn, Rod and Dylan all had their first taste of thermal soaring.
Cloud base was 4500ft above site with strong thermals, JSt and Rowan found weak wave over Wellington Monument. Rowan's mother had a Mother's day trial lesson and was quickly whisked to 3000ft, many gliders had flights of more than 2hours, John P managed 5 hours in H5.
All the club gliders plus six p/o gliders had 56 launches, Matt started his B/I training in the K13 with Simon M, at the end of the day the K13 was derigged ready for its annual inspection. - JSt
