Thursday 17th May

There was a lot of top cover and strong south easterly going southerly wind forecast. After a long walk to the top corner with all the kit, we started flying southerly circuits with the wind increasing,. There were some ragged broken thermals to extend circuit time and the odd light rain shower.  Unfortunately the rain became persistent before we got to the end of the flying list. The weather didn't show the best of gliding to a local journalist who will be writing a feature on the Open Weekend, but he enjoyed his day out.
