Another damp start with a westerly wind but the rain cleared much earlier than yesterday, so gliders were prepped and Chris H in CLM was the first onto what soon became a very busy Bishop ridge. Fingers were crossed that yesterdays wave would set up again with Wooly (611), Martin (KMV) and Rowan (CLM) hoping to bag some more height badges.
Unfortunately the airmass was very damp and unstable with showers to the north and south which eventually merged and chased us all down for tea and scones. The rain cleared again and the gang were soon all blasting around on the ridge and hunting for the elusive wave. More rained threatened, prompting a few to land, but the shower passed to the north and as the sun lowered and the thermals died down the wave finally made an appearance. Dave J (EZ Brentor), Pete (230) and Matt (M5) climbed to about 6500 before having to race the oncoming darkness back to the field.
