Wednesday started with very wet and windy weather
as forecast and only a handful of members turned up - not enough to get the kit
out.
About 11:00am the weather looked if it was clearing
and another couple of people turned up so after lunch we got just one K21 out, it was still
very windy 15kts plus and gusting but the wind was due west, we launched into
strong ridge lift and even stronger thermals - 6 to 8 kts at
times.
Seven people wanted to fly so we kept the flights
to 30mins each, Pete St flew his Discus for nearly 2 hours, a very interesting day
and well worth the trouble in getting the kit out.
We started packing up at just before 5:00 pm,
James turned up in readiness for the committee meeting and was disappointed
that he was just to late to join in the fun. - JSt
