In the afternoon some low thermals started to form and the N/W wind started to pick up giving some excellent soaring opportunities, all members who flew in the afternoon managed good soaring flights John Street had the longest flight, air braking down after 48min. Both trial lessons had good flights and Pete Warren and Robert shared the tugging.
