Wednesday started with a bit of
drizzle and low cloud, and both Course and Club members were treated to a lecture on thermals by Chris W but with a good forecast we got the kit out and
set the field up for a N/W launch.
As soon as we were set up the cloud was high enough to fly and beginning to get soarable.
Pete B was first to soar at 10:16 and it quickly turned into very strong lift with pilots reporting off-the-clock climbs.
It did over develop a couple of times but good cloud streets set up enabling flights to go beyond the motorway without turning. With the Course members taking priority on the K21's, the Club members struggled a little without the DG505 which is at the Long Mynd and R37 which was unserviceable and derigged and put in the workshop.
Peter
Sm flew a mile-high trial lesson, it was soarable until after 6.00pm - JSt
