It was a slow start due to some misty low cloud and rotor, but there was some useful housekeeping while we were waiting. The fallen branches along Wheelbarrow Lane were collected up, the Hangar side door was painted, the charging connector for the LPV was replaced, and the Perkoz was rigged after it's Annual this week (thanks George Sanderson and Andrew Logan).

Then it was off to the southwest corner with the gliders. and mainly short circuits. After a change of sides with a southerly wind, it suddenly got soarable up to 3000ft and the visibility improved.
