Another murky day dawned at North Hill. Ever hopeful, the intrepid band of glider pilots towed two K21s and the DG-505 to the south west corner through the gloom. They waited and watched as the cloud base went up a bit, then down a bit, then up a bit, then down a bit more,.... By lunchtime the conditions had been declared "almost flyable" but, well, we had to have lunch.
Soon after lunch, afternoon duty instructor Robin hussled the members, and a small but perfectly formed team assembled back at the launch point. But the Trial lessons had to be rebooked as the cloudbase was too low for aerotows. With Rowan and Roly instructing too we managed to get through the whole flying list. New members made progress with stick/rudder coordination while the "old guard" ticked off some checks. Others got in some experience with an unfamiliar type or practiced their sideslip approach. In the evening, Fiona's mum Rosemary enjoyed a hangar flight with Roly. - Ruth
