A hectic start to the day with a gusting north northwesterly wind. There was debate about the conditions, but taking all things into consideration, we decided to take just one K21 to the launch point. From the first launch it was obvious the west ridge was going to work well and we managed to do a couple of soaring flights before lunch.
After lunch the conditions had calmed down somewhat, thus making the flying a bit more comfortable.

Nick Jones arrived with our superb all purpose vehicle - it is almost a shame to use it for gliding, it is almost in showroom condition, long may it stay like this, everyone was keen to drive it and those who did were most impressed.

We finished flying about 4.30pm and all who wanted to brave the conditions flew. The booked trial lesson had to be cancelled due to the unsuitability of the conditions. - John Street.
