| Doom and Gloom first thing |
A call to action for a cross-country day (and for those of you who missed out - get on to DSGC google groups). The morning didn't look too promising with spreadout and Pete's planned task looked a bit flaky. Jill was convinced it would be Ok by lunchtime so we sacrificed Rowan Libelle CLM to the thermal gods and he stayed airborne. Launching quickly followed with Matt ASW24 M5, Jonathan ASW19 877, Eric ASG29 G29, Adrian Jantar FDX, Pete St Discus 230, Pete and Jill Duo Discus OL, and finally Wyn LS7 W7. Thanks to Stu for tugging.
G29, 230 and CLM completed the Club 100 TIE - YEO, 877 did an O/R to Chard, FDX and W7 stayed local.
M5 turned Salisbury and Witheridge for 285kms, whilst OL also went to Salisbury and Tiverton. for 240kms.
A nice cross-country day with cloudbase varying between 3500 and 5000ft QNH, with strong thermals and some mixed spreadout.
