We unpacked the hangar onto a desert-like airfield with few members in attendance today, we only took the two K21s and a Junior to the north east corner of the airfield.
There appeared to be a low cloud base so John Street & Vince did a quick met flight and found the conditions OK for launching. Peter Warren was the Tuggie for today with three trial lessons visitors booked and members requiring aerotow checks he was going to be kept busy, we delayed the first trial lesson due to the overcast, initially it was quite thermic up to 2,000ft but on the first aerotow the glider nearly beat the tug down.
