A promising day attracted many enthusiastic pilots, with the gliders being brought out and DI'd before 9am.
A moderate NNE'ly wind meant we set up at the far end of the field by the ridge. In the morning the ab-initio pilots got on with their training and by the afternoon the wind had dropped to provide some very smooth conditions.
Stu Proctor put Mike Sloggett through his paces in his instructor check, and JB tested Emma Kendall with some simulated launch failures in the K21 before allowing her to convert to the single seater.
There were a few aerotows with claims of weak wave to be found and some 1400ft launches were managed. We were flying right up until the sunset! Wouldn't have been possible without all hands on deck - thanks gang. - Emma Kendall
