Saturday 19th September

It was a misty start with very little wind, but the clouds started brewing up with 1600ft cloudbase, and the visibility was dire. After a few launches it was decided to change ends as the wind showed signs of picking up. Although it was highly soarable, the cloudbase and visibility didn't improve and for a while we had to limit to two gliders in the air at the same time.

During the afternoon, the sea air came through and the visibility improved significantly  so that everyone managed to fly.

There were 3 Trial lessons who all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
