Saturday 5th September

A quiet day at North Hill, but Steve W was  kept busy standing in for Mark, Eric flew some trial lessons and Stuart flew the tug and carried out the BI training with James F. 
Dad, Pete St and Andrew L managed to figure out how the K13 fitted in the trailer.

News from Aboyne Mountain Soaring Competition (MSC)

Today turned out not to be a comp day, as it doesn't start til tomorrow... Anyway in the morning I met up with Roy, the person who so kindly has given up the back seat of his ASH 25MI to me for the week, who walked into the clubhouse optimistic of epic flying whilst everyone else was sat around moaning about the low cloud... Sound familiar? 
Cold up here (Liam)

Anyway he was adamant it was waving so we launched at about 10:30 and climbed through a gap in the low cloud (about 30km from site). We managed to get established in the lower system up to about 10,000ft and then kept pushing west as we went on a tour of Scotland and managed to transition to the higher system which took us to the base of the airspace.

 Continued to turn Ben Nevis then a straight 140km glide home for 340ish km, landed at 2:30 by which time everyone else was about to launch, what a great intro to proper wave flying!! - Liam
