Not many
members at the club today. Low and dark clouds at first but with
indications that it may brighten up. Pete Stapleton arrived from Newquay
in his Cessna to do his Tug Duty so it only seemed right that Ron
decided it was aerotow only.
A
moderate north wind produced rotor low down on the ridge but this gave
way to smoother air above. Dave Cowley and Ron Johns took the first
launch and released north of Blackborough. Andrew Logan took advantage
of the day in FZF for a pleasant aerotow (unfortunately not high enough to qualify for the special winter refresher package. He released further north abeam Uffculme and stayed for a time in
wave. The K21 returning to base, Andrew would have liked to stay for
longer enjoying the skyscape above the clouds but the hole started to
fill in.

There were two other flights but the deteriorating weather meant that everything was put away in time for lunch. - Andrew Logan
