We started with a southwest wind but it soon became apparent that we would
have change ends so we set up shop on the aerotow run and guess what,
we were still downwind some of the time.
The weather was warm to hot and very pleasant, except when with the canopy down you were waiting for a slow 'take up slack'.
The thermals were hard to find at times but some creditable flights were achieved, Ruth had a reasonable soaring flight gained by much determination.
Tom, Andrew and Mike Fairclough flew their own gliders, Robert was the tuggie today with two Trial lesson flights and several aerotows, Pete Warren escaped to Dunkeswell to re-validate his PPL with Ian Mitch, At about 5:30pm we handed things over to the evening flyers with air cadets enjoying a super evening flying. - John Street.
