After a 10:00am briefing, the Juniors rigged the K6 and pulled the DG505 over to the launch line. Oscar Leeson then started the day off with an amazing flight of 8 minutes! After that James Hood flew for 4 minutes more than Oscar! Then Oscar had another flight but it was a 1 minute flight since it was a simulated cable break.

A few flights later Reuben had his first solo at the Long Mynd. I had my first taster at the retrieve winch, which was awesome. The weather then started to come in and so we broke for lunch (And the retrieval winch did too!)

After lunch 1-2 MGC members came back out, but in North Hill's optimistic mentality we all came back out and had another 5 flights, 4 of which were us!!! Ruth and I both did a bit of ridge running having a 19 and 31 minute flight respectively. What a great way to end the day. - Dan Hender
