Mist and low cloud shrouded North Hill on the Blackdown Hills. So after a morning spent with some odd jobs and in the simulator, 'light at the end of the tunnel' was seen by lunchtime and the hangar was unpacked.

Cloudbase was not particularly high, but sufficient for full height launches in the slack wind.

Circuits were the order of the day with just 1 flight in the Perkoz with Pete Harmer and Andy Davey finding 'the thermal' giving a 200ft climb straight off the top of the launch for the longest flight of 16minutes.

| Orographic cloud appearing (Mike Sloggett) |
Flying continued with everyone getting their fill of short circuits, until some low orographic cloud started appearing. Thanks everyone for a very pleasant day with 30 launches in just less than 3 hours - great teamwork. - J&P
