Monday 15th August - Course week

A bright blue start had everybody excited about the day, but the forecast predicted rain arrived on schedule. The course briefing was kept to a minimum to make best use of the conditions. Those that flew before lunch had soaring flights.

Jonathan S was ready and briefed for his silver distance attempt, but failed to contact the street. Liam prepared for his 16th birthday tomorrow with launch failures with Pete. It rained from 2:30pm and JB gave a lecture on winch launches.

Up country, many 300-600km flights with best at 702kms, and 6-7000ft cloudbases.
