With a good forecast we had a good flying list and plenty of
private gliders most of which were already rigged and parked in the new
glider parking area.
The wind was southwesterly and light and slightly
variable, the thermals were soon popping but with a clear coast it was
very likely we would suffer from a sea breeze later in the day.

May course last week to get back to gliding after a break of several
years.

All the cross-country pilots got back abandoning the tasks due to the sea air, but taking in Hatherleigh or Okehampton and Taunton although Pete Startup and JB explored Bridgewater and Glastonbury, with some of the others content with some pleasant local soaring.

We handed over to the Wednesday evening club with the luxury of not having to put most of the toys away.- John Street
