After a slow start due
to low cloud and the warm comfort of the clubhouse and after much
persuading, we eventually managed to extradite the Wednesday crew after
convincing them the wisdom of getting the gliders out of the hangar.
Low cloud delayed the start (John Street) |
The
conditions at first seemed quite benign but as the day progressed
things became quite lively, the three launches before lunch all found
good lift on the South ridge.
Discussions with new Chairman Nick presiding (John Street) |
After
an early lunch due to some light rain, the afternoon started with low
cloud once again, as luck would have it the cloud lifted enough to work
the South ridge and all the flights were in the region of 30min, all who
wanted fly flew and flying stopped at dusk. Unfortunately the conditions precluded flying today's Trial flight. - John Street.
