Early start for a Thursday with all the kit out before 10:00. Under complete cloud cover at 1200ft but showing signs of breaking, wind was a gentle westerly.
By lunchtime it had broken to allow a short slot when the K21 (Ron & Dave) and both Juniors (Wooly and Colin) transitioned from thermals to wave up to 3000ft within half a mile of the site. Explorations to enticing lenticulars further afield found no more lift, whilst mere mortals struggled with thermals that didn't quite reach the 1200ft cloudbase.
We welcomed some of the 'Wednesday club' who flew on a Thursday out of desperation, 58 launches by 20 members.
Congratulations to Dylan for converting to the Junior - our second 16yr old in a week, and Ian F continued his gliding revival by also converting to the Junior.
Thanks to Carl, Andrew and helpers for finishing the DG505 annual inspection.
