With 0.6mm of rain overnight, the airfield was still bone dry but it felt a little cooler today, and there was again a long list to fly. All the gliders were in use but we were short of instructors in
the morning with Mike F away and Pete W busy most of the day
tugging. The Eagle made another
appearence with JB & Malcolm. Congratulations to Peter Sm for completing BI acceptance checks with CFI Pete. Congratulations also to Matt Sm for completing his Bronze.
There were a number of trial lessons and Roly flew a honeymoon couple (one at a time).
Thermals were few and far between a but some gentle evening wave set up in the valley in front of
the South ridge.
In the evening, Ottery scouts just managed to get their flights in before the lowering cloudbase and hopefully tonight - some real rain.
Rowan presented Aeronautic Activity badges to four members of the Ottery St Mary Scout Group.
