Following a grotty Wednesday with just a weather check flight, we were more hopeful for improvements for Thursday. Overnight there were heavy thunderstorms and the warm moist air gave a very foggy morning.
Time was well spent by overhauling the launch ropes, demonstrating the derigging of a Junior prior to it's trip to Talgarth and completing the wiring of the sound and video system. We then checked out the projector with the La Motte video (showing affinity with those in the Alps at the moment.).
By lunchtime, the predicted cold front clearance was with us and there was a rush to get lunch and get going.
It was instantly soarable to nearly 3000ft, but during the first flights the wind picked up to a rather blustery south south westerly. Keith J collected his first Bronze half hour. There was a little bit of wave over Broadhembury. Although the evening stayed dry and bright we had to cancel the group evening due to turbulence from the South ridge, DG505 was derigged also for the Talgarth trip.
