The strong westerly wind had the expedition gliders rigged and ready at the launch point before breakfast. There was alot of cloud with the bases around 3000' QFE, but with sporadic patches of lower orographic and wave rotor induced cloud also. By mid afternoon, all the members managed to connect with the wave which set up off the northern end Lomand Hill, masterfully sniffed out by Simon in SM, and climb to between 8 and 10 thousand feet.
Ron made 2 trips into the wave, firstly with Wooly and then with Gill in her first flight since Georgia was born, Phil was left holding the baby. By late afternoon most of the cloud had dissolved, leaving everything bathed in the golden glow of the sinking sun.
In all 12 launches and over 35hrs of flying between us. Mega cheesy grins all round.
