The day didn't look too promising for a cross-country task, so the club members set up the Wednesday launch point as normal, meanwhile the soaring group discussed the previous day's flights with maggot-racing on the big screen. There were a couple of disappointments on tecnicalities for badge claims - so we need to brush up on the rules particularly for the 1.0km start line at the clubhouse (which is a lot shorter than you think from overhead at 3000ft.)
During the morning, the wind was picking up more from the south and there was a 'call from the cliffs'. Ron and Lisa took off in DG505 JZK for a closer look, but turned back as there was low cloud over the coast- not the same conditions in a southerly as the epic 8th May cliff run.
The south ridge was working for most of the day, but as always it made for tricky landing conditions.
There was general tidying up of the airfield - ready for our Open weekend.
