We had a forecast for a ridge after a cold front clearance with a nice northwesterly wind, but it wasn't quite like that. - It was lovely and sunny but with a biting northeasterly wind. The South coast could be seen glinting in the winter sunshine.

The flying lists were long after no flying yesterday, but with a steady launch rate, 27 members enjoyed reasonable launches and some slightly extended circuits, 43 in total.
Roly Clarke and Ian Mitchell followed by Mark Courtney and Rob Rand completed practice Navexs in the Rotax Falke.

Longest flight of the day went to Chris Wool and Ron Johns in DG505, who scrabbled around in some sort of low level lift for 23 minutes in the middle of the day.

The gliders had to queue up for their wash and brush up after flying. Thanks to everyone for yet another lovely winter's day out at North Hill. - J&P
