Wednesday 3rd August - course week

A much better day, bright start, light south westerly wind and a buoyant feel to the air from the word go, but it took quite a time for the thermals to establish. Early afternoon then looked as if the sea air had encroached from the south, but it was still soarable. There had been evidence of wave all day, and this did extremely strange things to the soarability of the air.
Wednesday Club members were scarce, nobody wanted the two seaters and very few to fly the Junior. Private Ka6, DG100 and ASW27 came out to play. Thanks to the work of Pete and Carl, and many others as ballast, the K21 wheel brake has been fixed, and another thank you to Tim, Joe and Keith for driving to Gloustershire to pick up the Junior, the fleet is now back to full strength.
With no trainees, but plenty of instructors, the course had plenty of flying with four two seaters to play with, most had good soaring flights.
The evening group, a party of 20 ladies from a walking club, had a very enjoyable session with excellent visibility and extended circuits in the still soarable sky - they have promised to come back for another go.
