The RASP forecast showed a dreary start but brightening quite quickly to good conditions, it seemed to take a little longer in reality and by early afternoon, the sky started at last to look good. A few of the North Hill soaring section joined the winch queue, but it still proved tricky to get away. Eventually the west north westerly streets started looking good upwind, Matt ASW20 M5 set off for Molton, whilst Pete & Jill Duo OL headed for Wimbleball. With 18kt headwind it was quite hard going into wind.

Rowan Libelle CLM and Eric LS7 194 also had flights over 2 hours. Lisa sported her new pink tips and there was a good contingent of club gliders local soaring with all the club fleet out for most of the day. JB and Ruth in K13 CCY continued soaring til gone 7pm.
