With an incoming warm front, we expected a reasonable start to the day with a gentle westerly wind, with decreasing cloudbase throughout the day and rain in the afternoon. Pretty good forecast really , the rain got held up over Dartmoor as usual but once it started moving it came in pretty quick.
We planned to get started early and carry on until the rain with a late lunch.The 2-seater list was handled by Pete Harmer, Peter Smith and Chris Wool with Matt Wright flying the Trial lesson, and was all completed just in time for the first drops of rain. Meanwhile both Juniors were keeping the single seat list rotating.

| The one aerotow today (Mark Layton) |
Ray Dodd with Mark Courtney practised some field landings in the Rotax Falke, and Zoe had a ride to look an aerial view of their farm.
Longest flight was Chris Wool and Mark Layton in DG505 with 24mins who found some pre-frontal wave off a thermal. Well done to Richard Davies who resoloed after a bit of a layoff over the winter.
After lunch, a wet visitor was spotted inspecting the webcam installation.....
