A beautiful start to the day
and much enthusiasm to get the kit out, a slight blip with one of the
Juniors which had a tail wheel puncture but that was soon dealt with.
The
wind was a light Southerly which soon veered to a fresh Southwesterly
and the sky looked quite promising with thermals popping up all over the
sky, but after a couple of decent soaring flights the sea breeze put
paid to the fun after that.
Pete
St in 230 and Tim in 877 had the longest flights of the day just under 1 hour, Matt flew the only Trial lesson flight and Pete Sm flew his Lak for the
first time this year.
We finished flying at about 5.00pm after what was a pleasant but dissapointing day. - JSt
News from Competition Enterprise
Lack of internet at Nympsfield has suppressed the news, but Liam picked another field this time at Bromyard, with a little 'carrying out' through nettles required for the crew.

| Field number 4 at Bromyard |
Catherine wheel the task consisted of a quadrilateral based on NYM going
to the NE, this alone was 190km and at each turn point you could do an
out and return from that point. I decided just to go around the task and
if conditions and time allowed do a out and return at the last
turnpoint. To start with conditions were great (for some) climbs were
fantastically strong and reliable so the distance to the first turn
point went very quickly for me, Muggles landed out after only one climb.
Around the turn point Bromyard near Worcester the top cover came in
killing everything and I ended up gliding to the turn point and landing
out whilst conditions to the SE where 'the best conditions I have seen
in the UK' according to some guy on the radio. - Liam
