All the kit was out early
with a large list eager to fly as result of a reasonable weather
forecast, with a northwesterly veering to north wind later in the day.
To
start with the wind was too light for the ridge to work, but some useful
clouds were developing and these gave some usable lift. As the day
progressed the flights became longer and a competitive spirit developed
to see who could stay up longest.

Roly
looked after the Trial lesson Visitors who all had good flights and Robert was the
tuggie, there where no private gliders rigged today, Tim Johns wished he
had rigged his ASW19 after a good soaring flight in HCX.
It
was a pleasant day with long spells of warm sunshine and easy
conditions, October it seems is being quite kind to us this year - long
may it last! - John Street
