A nice blue sky and just a slight southeasterly wind tempted 2 K21s and a Junior to the northwest corner of the airfield, however the wind out of the shelter of the clubhouse was more challenging. Some delicious-looking wave bars appeared in the sky.

| Wave bars in the southeasterly wind (Jill Harmer) |
The first few launches found some nice wave to play in for nearly an hour. But then the sky seemed to change, the wave bars moved and North Hill was in the rotor.
With another couple of launches finding severe turbulence up to 800ft, it was decided to call it a day unfortunately, with the gliders all walked back to the hangar.
So sorry to those who didn't fly - but you really wouldn't have enjoyed it! Some days are more challenging than others and today the weather won! - J&P
