Wednesday 29th April

All the forecasts for today seemed correct and resulted in a low turnout initially, by 10:30 though, we had enough bodies to get the kit out.
We started with rain and low cloud, but by the time the kit was out, there was a big improvement and we were soon soaring, even with the strong westerly wind, the ridge didn't seem to be working, - but the thermals were, and very strong up to 4000ft. 
Paul L flew the SF27 and Nigel his DG300, we had three two-seaters out and a Junior and there were three Trial lesson flights.
Everyone had long soaring flights and and it was a very worthwhile day in spite of the forecast. Many thanks to Paul C and Eric for helping out. - JSt
