Overnight rain had left the field quite muddy, but a rather brisk north-westerly set up and helped dry the field out. The ridge was working to a reasonable height with some thermal assistance and the two-seater list was very long - not helped by the blue card status as the launch and approach were "challenging".
From lunchtime onwards the showers stopped and, very much like last Saturday, several cloud streets setup from a north west direction. However, this time the cloud base was 2500 ft. Several flights lasted over an hour for those who could climb away from the ridge.
Considering the blue card colour, it was good to see all six gliders in use for most of the day.
Four Exeter Uni gliding students flew today. Stinky the adopted DSGC dog was also watching the proceedings. The K13 (CCY) master switch and radio speaker were fixed.
