It was a light southwesterly wind, with some clear blue skies initially, however it wasn't long before some cloud arrived. Initially orographic, but then widespread cumulus at 2000ft with plenty of large gaps for the Mile High Trial lesson visitors to enjoy the sparkling clear Devon air.
It was quite a busy day and it was good to our new young members and their parents helping to run the launch point.
