The day after the heatwave, there should have been a nice cold front clearance and a change of airmass, but the North Hill micro-climate didn't quite play ball. It was 1200ft - 1300ft cloudbase to start, and the hoped for wave slots refused to appear over North Hill.
The Mile High Trial lesson had to be cancelled, although cloudbase did go up to 2000ft so that Malcolm Watson could enjoy his flight.

| Waiting for the aerotow (Mark Layton) |
Training, check flights and solo flying enjoyed variable westerly ridge conditions with it working more consistently throughout the day.
Paul Little CEC had the longest flight of 1hr 46 with Pete Startup 230 1hr 38 and there were several other extended circuits.
