The weather gods were kind again to the happy Wednesday crew we had a nice dry field, a N/W wind and plenty of sun although it was quite chilly.
From the first launch Chris Warnes (who else ) managed nearly 30min in wave/ridge lift to set the tone for the rest of the day, Aston Key, a refugee from the Thursday club, having studied the weather for Thursday decided to fly with the Wednesday suspects and was rewarded with a good soaring flight. Trevor Russell, another refugee from the Sunday club managed to soar whilst the rest of the crew were having lunch.

| Nick practising patter (Mark Layton) |
Nick Harrison again was practising his back seat flying.
The cloud base was just short of 3,000ft with good strong thermals and cloud streets to play with. At one time both K21s and both Juniors were all airborne at the same time.
