Wednesday's forecast was for a strong Southerly wind and that is just what we received, the ridge was working from the first launch with Mike Fitz and John Street enjoying a flight of over 30min was a good start.

During the day most flights enjoyed soaring conditions on the South ridge the good lift lasted all day with short periods with quick circuits and sink.
In the strong wind some of launches were in excess of 1,500ft and our thanks go to the standard of winch driving in difficult conditions.

| Landing after a good soaring flight (John Street) |
Some of the landings were a little testing but everyone who flew handled the conditions well, at the end of the day, we had all three gliders soaring in good lift with Glenn Turpin having the the longest flight of nearly an hour. - John Street
