Summer at last! - It was a lovely start this morning with light south westerly wind, warm sunshine and those lovely white puffy clouds. First to launch was Pete H and Paul K, and after some final check flights, Pete stepped out of the glider and Paul had a couple of solo, short soaring flights. Congratulations to Paul who only had his first ever glider flight at North Hill on 8th February and has been cramming in the training flights ever since - hooked on gliding!.

It was soarable until about lunchtime when the sea air came through, and it went blue, thermals disappeared and the southerly wind picked up. There were wonderful looking wave clouds but not reachable, but the south ridge was working and extending flights.
Everybody commented on what a lovely enjoyable day of gliding it had been. - J&P
