It was a bit of a ladies day with most of the female members on site having good soaring flights, with Cheryl in Pilatus B4 CVV for over 3 hours gaining her 2 hour flight for cross-country endorsement. Graham H in DG500 and Ruth in K21 both had their longest training soaring flights and many other club members had good soaring flights including a visitor from Yeovilton.
And not to mention James who converted to ASW20 ENW and soared to 4000ft, under Mark's watchful eye.
Matt ASW20 M5 clocked up 213kms completing Yeovil - Molton - Chard. Whilst Pete & Jill in Duo Discus OL, completed the club 100kms triangle twice Yeovil - Tiverton East with a 60kms excursion to Witheridge in between. For a while, both M5 and OL made use of some good sea-breeze convergences between Chard and Yeovil.
Pete St Discus 230 has been at Nympsfield all week with Sid's task week and completed 321kms Buckingham - Birdlip - Bicester.
At last we have had a decent soaring day - let's hope there are more to come.
