It was a foggy start, so after the usual course briefing and introductions, James Flory gave a briefing on winch launching, whilst we waited for the air to dry out. We got going just after 11:00am, but cloudbase was still quite low - but soarable. As the temperature increased, the cloudbase rose to 2000ft and Pete Startup 230 and Eric Alston G29 took spare cables just before lunch, but found it difficult to go far.

The morning flights concentrated on circuits whilst the afternoon flights were all soarable and cloudbase rose to 4000ft..
Well done to Hans Jenssen for completing his 2 hour flight towards cross-country endorsement and just short of Silver height. - J&P
