Most members were greeted by thick fog at home but North Hill was
bathed in warmish spring sunshine with every prospect of some good
soaring conditions and the Swallows are back in force flitting, about
getting their nesting sites ready for the summer.
Tim
J 877, Pete St 230, Dave C CVV and a member from Dartmoor GS Rich R K6, all rigging
with the prospect of a good day, by 11:30am the thermals started popping
and a little early soaring was had, but the sea air came in quickly from the
South, and soon put paid to that but all was not lost - a large convergence started building to the North.
Pete St in his Discus, after a very quick winch launch decided the only way to reach the convergence was an aerotow (cheating) he managed a Club 100km Yeovil - Tiverton east although with a track further north.
Rich R from Brentor showed up the North Hill pilots with two good soaring flights in his K6.
William made good use of the Falke and Peter F was the tuggie for the day. - JSt
