A dull and damp start but with a
reasonable forecast of a brisk northwesterly wind with a good prospect of thermals,
the flying list was huge.
Met.
flights at about 10.30 indicated a cloud base of 900 ft so a good time
for card check flights, soon we were getting full height launches with
good lift on the ridge and extended flights.
Roly
flew all the visitors and John St and Pete W worked their way through
the flying list, the wind gradually picked up to blue card making the
two-seater list longer.
With the
prospect of good conditions Matt, Eric and Pete St all flew their own
gliders and had long flights, we managed to get through the list.
The
ridge lift and thermals were very strong making for a very interesting
and rewarding day, we handed over to the Met Office for their trial lesson evening. - JSt
