Saturday 29th January

The sun failed to appear apart from a small glint in the afternoon and the wind continued its relentless cold blow from the north east. A few club members braved the elements mainly for check flights. Stu put the recent training into practice by giving an excellent lecture on stalling.

Late in the afternoon a small gap opened in the clouds allowing two 2-seaters up in to the wave.

James and Heather planned to do a hangar landing, as they launched, a wave gap was opening. They turned down-wind towards the fish ponds and scratched away finding good wave lift.

Simon Leeson and Wyn then launched in the K13 and contacted wave joining James and Heather in the DG505. Roly sent last orders over the radio as the sun was setting. The 505 reached 3000 ft and Simon and Wyn were close behind.
