Dave Masson was suggesting 500kms from 'nearly' anywhere in Southern England, but clearly Devon was not included! The cloudbase was around 2000ft and thermals were difficult to find and use, and there was clear wave and windshear in different places at different times.

It was mainly circuits and extended circuits for training flights, with Jeff Taberham in 380 taking the first aerotow and managing to stay up for just 1 hour. Andy Williams FUN had a couple of attempts of 30 minutes each.
A big thank you to all the 'standins' today with Pete Harmer tuggie, James Flory and John Sillett covering the Instructing duties, and with Simon Minson on a 1:1 with Paul Medlock converting to DG505. Sam Flory converted to the Junior, Emma Kendall consolidated her solos
in K21, and Ross Pratt reaquainted himself with the Junior. - Congratulations to all.
