With temperatures today starting off at 'scorching' 3 degrees with a howling wind and a cloudbase of 500ft meaning that until 12:00, things got off to a slow start. After a 'quick' walk to the southwest corner by 12:30 everything was up and running with the first two cables in use straight after the gliders arrived.

Big thanks to 'Team Hender' who were launching, winching and retrieving from the first to the last launch.
All pilots today got to have some fun doing crosswind training with a crosswind battering the aircraft on their approaches. With high launches but not much lift around the field the longest flight was 11 minutes - 23 launches in total. - Matt Howard (first-time blogger)
