Wed 8th August

With the first August course in full swing the entire fleet was out and ready to go before 10:00am. From the first launch it was very soarable, there was a hurry to launch because the much needed rain was forecast for the afternoon.

The conditions were very soarable and at one point all the fleet was airborne at the same time the thermals were very strong and climbs to 4,000ft were to be had.

Peter Smith was duty instructor today as John Sillett was away  running a course for Heron Gliding Club, Peter kept himself entertained with some interesting simulated launch failures.

Unfortunately the forecast rain arrived mid-afternoon and some Wednesday regulars  and couse members did not get to fly. - John Street.
