A large number of members came
up to the club today, despite the foggy conditions, the gliders were
quickly walked up to the southwest corner in readiness for the conditions to
improve.
The weather was slow to clear and there was a very strong Easterly wind
as well, frequent met checks were carried out during the morning although
the weather was improving it was still not flyable, so an early lunch.
After
lunch, the weather was much improved so we decided to make a start,
unfortunately some of the members who had been waiting all morning to fly
gave up and went home.
Despite
the strong wind the flying conditions were not too challenging and
everyone who flew had some useful practice at strong wind flying.
Thanks to Lisa and Peter Sm who lent a hand with the flying we managed to get through the flying list. - JSt
