It started a bit cloudy and damp and the field had got a little soggy overnight, so we set about some housework, repairing the windsock and marking out the next area of the airfield for field levelling. We decided on an early lunch while the field drained a little more, so the kit was set up ready to go. The forecast southerly wind had started to pick up, so there was an element of caution on the first few launches.
Once airborne, the air was quite smooth and with large areas of reduced sink, there was the suggestion of some southerly wave maybe setting up, but at 900ft the south ridge was working.

Longest flight was John Alcroft with Pete Harmer for 20 mins, so an unexpected pleasant afternoon considering the unlikely forecast a few days ago. - J&P
