Having driven through the night from Mendip, H5 Matt was rearing to go at sunrise but had to while away the hours until the Denbigh morning briefing. Un-forecast showers chucked a further delay in proceedings which meant M5 Matt arrived just in time to join everyone rigging.

H5 Matt was a little anxious but M5 Matt said, "Go for it dude! It's definitely working" before launching first just to make sure. Boy was it working! H5 Matt launched and hardly lost any height dropping back to the ridge. The nerves settled after 2 beats of the tusk and he set off to explore more of slopes with his grin getting wider all the time.

There was lots of signs of wave in the sky and all the gliders found there way into it eventually but only up to about 5500' before approaching rain encouraged every one to go back and land but not before smoking the ridge a few more times. The rain didn't arrive!
