The Blocking High over North of Scotland gave us yet another north easterly wind with a weak occlusion and low cloud. But the morning wasn't wasted...
A number of members assisted Ian Mitchell in weighing HCX, Rob Rand practised his weather briefing skills and we looked at the possibilities of soaring weather for the North Hill leg of InterClub league coming up this weekend.
By lunchtime the gaps started to come and go, but ever hopeful the kit was walked up to the other end of the field, and we had some of those nice cloud formations...

With a Yellow flag for the gusty conditions, there were plenty of Bronze training exercises taking place, and Ian Hunt managed the longest flight with 28 minutes in the Junio r- during the one bit of marginal soaring weather.

Unfortunately all the Trial lessons today had to be cancelled for a day with better weather and higher cloudbases. - J & P
