It was quite misty first thing , but it soon cleared as the wind picked up and the cold front moved further away. The Course members were treated to Pete B providing a Notam and weather briefing.
Course flying got going, and congratulations to Douglas who, after resoling earlier in the week, converted to the Junior and then soared for nearly an hour on his second flight.
Cloudbase rose and Pete B soared the K6 until the seat got the better of him. Matt in M5 and Pete St in 230 took spare cables and completed a quick downwind dash to Dorchester and then a rather slower push up wind to Dulverton for 178km. Adrian in FDX, Eric in G29 and Pete & Jill in OL also took spare cables for local soaring.
Course flying continued all day, with Andria, Richard and Rob all getting close to their personal goals of going solo, and Josh moving forward with his training and taking the prize for the most flying in the week.
