Good soaring days in February are like hens teeth and it looked like we were going to miss this one due to the tug being on maintenance. Step in Mitch, who as he was at North Hill working on the Pawnee and agreed to throw in a few tows around lunchtime using his Falke.
Taking advantage of the day were Pete 230, Tom DG1, Eric G29, Mike and Barbie F and Rick in the Junior.
3 knot thermals to 3,400' North Hill QFE were abundant and most enjoyed local soaring, 230 zig zagging up and down the cloud streets as far as Axminster in the East and Knowstone in the West for a total of 175km.
James Flory did some circuit training at Dunks in the Falke between tows, Fran was on site polishing KL like mad, Nick Jones was marshalling high lifts around the MT hangar in preparation for remembering M5 day, Phil was delivering beer and glasses for same and 877 was in the workshop.
A good day with many thanks to Mitch for making it possible.
