The forecast for today was for very strong wind gusting to 30+ knots and maybe moderating later in the day, this put off some of our regulars, those who did turn up were treated to some flights on the simulator with John Sillett. Peter Warren meanwhile was chomping at the bit to make a start at flying, so after much deliberation and weather checks we decided to fly.

| John Sillett and Pete Warren ready to go (John Street) |
The wind was very strong and gusting but in its favour it was northwesterly, John Sillett and Peter Warren were first in the air, and after a briefing from John, Glen Turpin and Chris Warnes were next to fly.
It was obvious that the ridge was going to work, so with the two K21s soaring, Pete Startup rigged his Discus in record time and joined them on the ridge.
Everyone who wanted to fly had over an hour of soaring in the character building conditions! - John Street.
