Thursday 15th April

A stiff North easterly breeze persists and welcomed the Thursday crowd. The usual leisurely start with launches to 1200ft broken cloudbase for the morning. Our new Skylaunch winch arrived in time for lunch, and following swapping ropes from the loaned Skylaunch to our new one, launching continued through the afternoon. Although there were some beautiful looking cumulus the wind broke up the thermals and cloudbase was only 2000ft. Thanks to Pete the Winch from Skylaunch for delivering our new winch with a 10 hour round trip.

And that well known and hardworking tuggie looks for a way to lengthen the aerotow queues.
