The Beast from the East
has moved to the north leaving us with ideal soaring weather, still a
little cold but compared with last week almost tropical! Still some snow around to remind us of last week.

The
flying got off to a good start with Mike Fitz and John Street first in
the air in the K21, followed by Robert Lee in a Junior- both having good
soaring flights, the good conditions lasted all day with everyone having
a good soaring flight. There
were a lot of storms about in the local area, but they all just about missed us, ahead of
the storms, there was very strong lift with climbs to 3,000ft.

Eric Alston G29,
Pete Startup 230 and Tim Johns 877 flew their own gliders, Eric airbraking it
down after 99min needing a cup of tea. Our friends from Brentor were
with us again, they all had some good flying, and with the tug on its annual
there were no Trial lessons.

Considering the weather we have had lately, the field was surprisingly dry and with a similarly good forecast for Thursday - let's hope this winter is now behind us. - John Street.
