Low cloud and drizzle to start and having had several rope breaks recently, the Thursday thermallers set about renewing both winch ropes ready for the spectacular soaring season to come.

The winch got a bit lost in the fog at the far end of the airfield, but as forecast a clearance came through after a late lunch and the first launch was at 1515. The ridge worked intermittently with the odd thermal, but flights were limited to about 20 minutes. Everyone flew and we packed up at 19:00.
