Bright start but with a rather strong northwesterly wind, by lunchtime it had clouded over and didn't look too inspiring. Despite this it was highly soarable with 4-6 knot thermals to 3000ft all day. John P in Junior KHA and Matt ASW20 M5 made the most of the day with 2-3 hour flights. There was clear wave interference which sometimes helped the thermals off the ridge. Launches from the Supacat were quite spritely.
Alex Walton from Mid-week Herald, Exeter Journal, Sidmouth Herald had an aerotow and winch launch filming publicity for the open weekend. - Look out for the articles next week.
At Upavon, conditions were more difficult but the DG505 with Simon M and Max enjoyed a field landing. All gliders back safe and sound.
