All the gliders were out
early ready for the Wednesday club and the June course but the wind
direction was not as forecast and poor visibility and low cloud delayed the
start of flying.
The
wind eventually settled to the northeast so all the the gliders were walked
up to the southwest corner, the conditions were uninspiring to start with, but good
conditions for launch failure practice while the poor visibility persisted.
