A Cold Front had cleared through overnight, but the Low pressure was still centred over South Wales so we expected a very unstable showery day with gusty winds. Fortunately it wasn't quite as windy or showery as forecast!

With 2 K21's, Junior and Perkoz beating up and down the west ridge, with occasional fast drifting thermals and a little weak wave, the flights were all extended. This was interspersed with some simulated launch failures for Aston Key to be cleared for the Perkoz.

There were 23 flights in total with Pete Startup ("should have rigged 230") having the longest flight over lunch of just over the hour. Congratulations to John Borland for completing his 100th solo flight and outsoaring the Perkoz with Wooly and Aston. Thanks also to Geoff Lawrence and Dave Clements for changing the flat tyre on Freda out in the muddy field. - J&P
