Low cloud put paid to an
early start, flying didn't start until late morning and then without any
thermal activity, after lunch the whole situation had changed with the
cloudbase rising to over 2,000ft and good abundant thermals that
lasted all afternoon everyone had a soaring flight and two of the booked
trial lessons were flown with Pete Warren in the tug.

The group from Kestrel Gliding Club at Odiham enjoyed a taste of North Hill
soaring.
In the late afternoon, a large group from the Southwest region of the Porsche Owners Club started to arrive for their evening of flying. Only half of them managed to get airborne as the low cloud unfortunately arrived early, but the Porsche Owners enjoyed the social gathering and barbeque and will return on another day. - John Street.
