The early wet start certainly
did not delay flying - we had a brisk north westerly wind and perfect visibility after the
recent Easterlies and poor vis.
The
flying got off to a good start with lift on the ridge and thermals from
the first flight, at times it was difficult to get away due to too much North in the wind, but when you did contact lift the soaring was good
with strong lift up to 3,500ft.
There
were many private gliders flying all having long soaring flights Matt W
and Pete St attempted the Club 100k and the other Matt in the SF
attempted his 5hrs - he managed 4hrs - bad luck Matt.
Wave set up West of the ridge for the last couple of hours and several late flyers had some enjoyable flying in it. Congratulations to Nigel for achieving his Silver height in the Junior.
