Sunday started bright and with a very early start the
gliders were ready to launch just after 9.00am, after the first launch scattered, low
cloud halted flying for a short while, after that the weather greatly improved
during the morning providing booming thermals to over 4,000ft. The thermals lasted well into the afternoon but
rain started about 5.00pm to halt flying, everybody flew and the tug was put to
good use many long flights were recorded. - JSt
For those that set off along the cloud streets into the brisk south westerly wind, found flying quite challenging with a fair amount of turbulence behind Dartmoor and uncentreable thermals, but no locatable wave.
Congratulations to Dylan for getting all the paperwork signed up for Bronze following his week course at Lee on Solent.
ICL - official result has been published by Long Mynd Blog - Double scrub and the trophy retained by Hus Bos. But very well done to all the North Hill competitors and crew for getting us to the final and attempting to compete with fairly heavy mobs. Thanks to Andrew for the nail-biting team selections and organisation.
