All the kit was out early under a very overcast sky with a promise of better weather later in the day. With a light southwesterly wind and nothing much in the way of lift - it was a good time for some check flights and familiarity flights in the Perkoz with plenty of simulated launch failures.

As the day progressed the South wind picked up making for some interesting landings and the South ridge started to work with some thermal activity as well.
The 2000ft trial lessons went ahead and Tom Sides grandson was introduced to gliding with an aerobatic flight with John Sillett and a flight with his Grandad Tom in the DG 505.
The Skylaunch seemed to be holding up with the temporary fix of Radweld, the soaring was not as good as it has been in the last few weeks but nevertheless some useful flights were to be had.
Nick Harrison flew in with his RF5 and the Falke was also used to good effect.- John Street.
