Thursday 30th August

Another 'Wednesday washout' meant a busy Thursday for the club. There was a strong northerly crosswind creating a lot of turbulence below 700ft, so Pete, John Si and Chris were kept busy all day. Once through the excitement of the gusty launch, there were large areas of smooth lift in front of the ridge giving good soarable training flights. On a couple of occasions it was possible to transition into a low level gentle wave reaching 500ft above the cloudbase of 2500ft.
