Saturday 30th - Talgarth

Talgarth served up it's best Southerly conditions ready to challenge those willing to take a launch! Winds from the SSW at 20kts gusting 30 kts resulted in discussions between the duty instructor and tug pilot and it was agreed that after launching the sacrificial "pundit" in a single seater they "might launch " a two seater.
Simon L and Dave W climbed into the DG 505 , with faces as eager as two children at their grandmothers birthday party they accepted the rope. The aerotow was "interesting " all the way to the ridge after which they managed to fly for over two hours before being shot down by rain. 
No other gliders at the club flew after their launch! 

Forecast for Sun much better .
