Thursday 29th August

It was an early start, with orographic cloud still on the hill...

No sign of the Beech trees yet!

so we all retreated to the Clubhouse to watch the BGA field landing dvd.... and by the time we opened the blinds the sky was clearing. Cloudbase only reached 2000ft but it was gently soarable. 

Ollie had his first solo soaring flight. Chris C still waits for his first full 1 hour flight. Several of the Thursday regulars enjoyed an Eagle experience. 

There were several trial lessons and Tom's Spanish friends enjoyed their flight over the Devon countryside.

Hola!

After a few cycles of overcast and sunshine, at the end of the day, the cloud broke completely for a pleasant evening cup of tea on the patio.

Towing back to the hangar - nice sky!
