Monday 13th August - Club week
Monday started with low cloud, the trees quickly disappeared from
view followed by the trailers, not daunted Jonathan soon had us all going
through the Bronze Questions, scoring 20 out of 20 (with a little help &
discussions)! After this Mark C put us through our paces with Weather
Forecast 214 /215. Then it looked as if the cloud was lifting so full of
optimism we got set up for flying, only to have orographic cloud on &
off for the next couple of hours, optimistic as ever we waited & eventually
started flying at 5.30 having 2 launches each with plenty of practice pulling
off at varying heights under low cloud, we all learnt a lot from this &
eventually had to stop flying at 8.15 as the canopy’s were misting. A great day
making the most of the conditions. - HC
