The day started with a welcome briefing from Mark Courtney and a useful weather briefing from Gordon Hutchinson. RASP was suggesting some potential good soaring conditions from mid- morning onwards, so we quickly got the kit out and got launching.
Dan Hender and Mark Courtney in a K21 were first launch of the day, well before 10, and disappeared off for an hour in the evident thermic conditions. Steve Westlake and Graham Hawker followed soon after in the Perkoz.
Charlie Stuckey had 5 solos before lunch to take me up to the 50 required for Bronze. Adam Mortimer had his first training and soaring flight in which he got to sign up lots of his training card due to the exceptional lift.

Josh Funnell enjoyed some solo soaring in a K21 whilst Harry Rigby continued with his training flights. Stuart Procter rigged his LS3 and Mike Sloggett his ASW20 and both enjoyed a number of local soaring flights during the morning.
After lunch the lift improved even more and the Rigby’s (Mike and Harry) both enjoyed soaring flights.
Charlie had an hour and a half in the Junior which goes towards his Bronze Cross Country endorsement and Mark and Dan had another hour.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their day and we're all looking forward to the rest of the week! - Charlie Stuckey
