It was a little murky in the morning, and after some deliberations on wind direction, the field was set up on the North west corner finding the smoothest spot avoiding the manufactured giant molehills.
Some rather short circuits followed with cloudbase at 800-1000ft, but the course members wanted to do launch failure practice anyway.

After a break for lunch, the sun started appearing briefly, and it felt brighter and warmer, but the cloudbase was stubbornly still low. Training flights continued and Wooly set a tight landing area for the yellow card pilots practice their field landing expertise.
As if by magic, as 6:00pm arrived the skies cleared into a lovely evening and the kit was handed over to the evening group helpers who enjoyed a liitle bit of soaring on the south ridge with the Moretonhampstead Explorer Scouts.......
