The club was quiet this morning despite sunshine and tempting looking cloud streets. Nevertheless, by late morning, a small but determined (and 50% Davies) group of members made their way to the north west corner with a K21. The hike up the field made the strong wind and turbulence more obvious, and a blue flag was duly raised. Mike F took up his position in the back seat and soon members were reminded what booming thermals feel like. They were less pleased to be reminded about evil sink!
After lunch Andrew M took over the back seat. Unfortunately the natural thermals had died down, but he did get 500 feet off the man made one which had been set off near the sheep pen. Flying finished early and all retired to the clubhouse for tea and Nick H's chocolate cake. - Ruth
