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?

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
