Thursday 12th April

Low cloud in the morning with some heavy hail showers building by lunchtime in the north westerly wind. A better afternoon with 'our street' being one of the few that wasn't overdoing it. Honiton and south got a good watering and there was a massive anvil over the Severn Estuary most of the afternoon.
Late afternoon, it got incredibly soarable and we had to call the gliders down for the last landing at 19:00.
Aston FZF had his best soaring flight from North Hill so far - 1hr 45 trying out the local turnpoints, and Will KHA, Robert DKU Astir, Dave KHA and Keith HCX all soared for over an hour.
Congratulations to Liam for successfully passing the Bronze paper, but unfortunately missed out on a Bronze half-hour by being shot down by one of the passing showers from 3000ft.
DG505 and Junior have been packed up ready for the long haul to Portmoak.
The weatherstation is now up and running on the DSGC website.
