Another bright sunny day
at North Hill but a bit on the cold side, we had quite a long flying
list so the two K21s, the DG 505 and a Junior were quickly set up at the
launch point, the wind was Northerly and forecast to back to a more
Westerly direction later in the day. In
the fairly brisk Northerly and sometimes having a little bit of East in
it, the launches were subsequently not much above 1,000ft, but it was good
practice for crosswind take- offs and landings.

| Last flight of the day (John Street) |
There
was only one trial lesson that nearly beat the tug down from 2,000ft,
Andy one of our country members and also a member from Brentor joined us
today and after the usual checks had a couple of solo flights.

| Sunset over the Exe (John Street) |
Nick Harrison had the longest soaring flight in the Junior of 17min in some late weak thermal in the afternoon. It
was a pleasant day if a little cold and the green one piece overalls
made their first appearance this Autumn worn by the less hardy members!
