Sunny bright warm morning, but a strengthening northerly breeze made takeoffs and landings a bit exciting. So whilst it was soarable from the first launch, the single seat list was restricted by a blue card. But useful refresher training on strong crosswind operations was enjoyed by both Course and Club members, with good north north westerly streeting to cloudbase at 3000ft.
The private owners didn't venture very far due to the unreliability of the thermals.
Congratulations to Aston who got high and stayed high for his 5 hours in the Junior, completing his Silver badge.

The wind went round to the north west in the afternoon, allowing the evening group from Teignbridge Canoe Club to enjoy gentle soaring flights late into the evening.
A big thank you to Adrian for getting the Kubuto back on line and for yet again rodding the blocked drains.
