Thursday 9th December

Thursday dawned bright, but cold with a hint of west in the light northerly wind, which later backed to give a decent breeze down the strip. Plenty of circuits. About midday cloud started to appear and to show gaps across the wind. Ron took a high tow and started to climb slowly in the wave, Pete H took the next tow only to meet Ron coming down through the closing gap, and that was that. By the end of the day it had warmed up enough to melt most of the lying snow.
