After Monday proved to be hot and not worth launching, a few more members turned up expectantly on Tuesday, Pete St decided to go 'rele bashing' at Mevagissey).
After a long wait for the distant cumulus to get closer, launching started at 1400. JB in Ventus took off first and pulled off really early (as he was still on QNH with French waypoints set!!!), but used the iron thermal to motor off to the clouds over Culmhead.
Next to go was Wyn in W7 LS7, Tom in DG1, Liam in Junior FZF and Adrian in Jantar FDX, bringing up the rear and nearly an hour behind were Pete and Jill in Duo Discus OL.
Everyone set off towards Sherbourne and found the conditions quite varied but usable. JB led a noisy gaggle until it got split up near Chard, when everyone decided to do their own thing.
Tom and Adrian turned Chard and returned to North Hill, Liam and OL turned Sherbourne and returned, meanwhile JB and Wyn went on to Iwerne Minster / Henstridge but with poorer conditions.
The forecast south coast sea breeze front didn't set up with any conviction but there was a murky convergence street back from Yeovil for the early returners, although Wyn & JB had to struggle in the blue.
