Beautiful, bright, sunny winters day but with that biting 18kt (gusting 30kt slightly east of northerly wind), it was with some trepidation that the launch point was set up in the south west corner.
The first few launches found that it wasn't too gusty to fly and gave some valuable two-seater experience in tricky crosswind conditions. The wind then started backing at height making the winch launches difficult for the winch driver. John P took a launch just before lunch soaring in thermals off the north ridge for 89 minutes. Lisa had a couple of gos in the Junior but couldn't beat that.
Instructors were kept busy all day in the brisk northerly wind with interesting circuits, everyone had a challenging but enjoyable day, although it was deemed too uncomfortable for the trial lessons that had been booked in.
