The forecast for Thursday had changed significantly during the week and for the better!
There was a light south easterly wind and a cover of high cloud which cleared through the day, and it finally got soarable about 1630hrs.
Meanwhile the despondent members of the Talgarth expedition returned to base early, due to the poor forecast for the rest of the week. All except Paul - who stayed on and flew the K13 for the best flight of the week.
In the evening, the visitors from Crediton Presidents Men - a local keep fit group were blessed by a beautiful
summer evenings flying . It's not very often we have said that this year
! The visibility was fantastic you could see Portland Bill in one
direction and Wales in the other . The air was as smooth as Cornish
cream, no lift was to be had but some how our very own Spice girl Lisa H
( posh spice) managed to get a longer flight time than both Roly (300k)
and Mark(canopy!!) C . There were some doubts on the time keeping
however as long time Girl power fan Heather C was at the keyboard .
Several of the group were very keen to take up our temporary membership
and vowed to return . Thanks to all the helpers who made it possible
tonight they all worked very hard. -MC
