Saturday 8th January

It was quite a slow start with the low cloud lifting and breaking into north-westerly streets, and gusty at times - but soarable. The ridge was working and the streets cloudbase at 1800ft kept everybody happy.
Andrew(GDE) and Roly(FZF) were up for just over an hour, Matt and Pete St flew JZK to Tiverton and back, and Stuart(KMV) takes the prize for just short of two hours. - Not bad for January. There was 1 trial lesson.

The ground was still wet though and the canopies started misting up quite early as the temperature dropped, forcing an early bath (wash and brush-up of the mud underneath the gliders before putting them to bed).
