It was a foggy start and a cloudbase check was taken just after 12:00, but we decided to take an early lunch for a run right through with hopefully cloudbase continuing to rise. All available club gliders were in action.
There was very little wind on the surface, but the launches were high to 1500ft, and a huge patch of zero sink at the top of the launch. Pete Harmer was able to make the most of this with the longest extended circuits on two separate flights for 13 minutes. Meanwhile Peter Smith felt in need of some exercise and didn't reach the top of the launch all afternoon, with simulated launch failure training of various types.

Chris Wool was in a boyish mood, cracking the brakes on a training flight, and practising some out of position exercises.

Towards the end of the afternoon the cloud showed a few more signs of breaking. - J&P
