We all turned up at the club to see the Bishop shrouded in a wave bar. North Hill pilots and local club pilots flocked to soar the orographic wave. The climbs were frequently to 3,000 ft but were difficult due to the wave switching on and off. Over 14 gliders could be counted at one time.
Gradually as height was gained, people pushed out into the valley North of West Lomond to contact wave, some were successful climbing to over 9,000 ft.
Henry tried for a Gold height falling short at 8,500 ft bagging a Silver height instead (Silver now complete). In the same wave bar was Rob Lee, Paul Summers (477), Simon Minson.
Nigel Everett and Ian Hunt both soloed in the Junior getting to grips with the local ridge. It was Ian's first solo away from North Hill, where he enjoyed an hour.
