The day started early with the hangar unpacked and everyone briefed by 9:30. With the wind from the southwest we experienced some weak ridge lift at the start of the day with weak wave developing to the west.

Charlie Stuckey and Josh Funnell enjoyed some gentle ridge flights and Dan Hender got a wave flight just before lunch.

Ross Pratt flew over lunch and got to enjoy the wave too, however not to the full extent due to the sheer amount of turns he put in. The wave unfortunately died and the ridge wasn't as strong as hoped so extended circuits became the norm. Mark Courtney and Charlie Broderick's handywork in breaking the cable put an hour-long delay in proceedings, however some gentle sunset flights were enjoyed by Charlie Stuckey and Simon Leeson, who had spent most of the afternoon on the retrieve winch due to being very experienced in the matter.....

A thoroughly enjoyable yet cold day and much anticipation for more flying tomorrow. - Charlie Stuckey
