No Fools here!
A lovely sunny start and the first possible flying day for the Instructors' preparation training this week and it was a soarable Thursday! Soaring in thermals from the first launch and then later the cloud became more overcast the wind increased and backed southerly and it became quite gusty. John and Ernie had 2 aerotows each for their spin/stall training with JB, and the Thursday regulars were joined by Max, Will, Dylan and Rhodri - junior members on Easter hols. Conditions got fairly rough with +/- 10 knots at times to 3300ft above site but the South ridge started working late on. Robin in JPT enjoyed 2 hours flying.
As a measure of just how bad this winter weather has been, this Thursday was only the ninth flying Thursday in the six months since 1st October. However don't give up hope - Robert's stats in the Clubhouse show that in any given year since 2002 there has always been one good month in the summer.
