Another Ad-hoc day was called by the Chairman and CFI, after the poor weather on our normal Club days of Wednesday and Thursday this week.
The promised forecast weather (apart from the wind) was a little slow to perform, but it turned into a worthwhile afternoon, with several private owners, K21 and Perkoz was out flying after its delayed Annual inspection.

Pete Startup 230 published his flight to Cerne Abbas but found the going too tough heading back to North Tawton.

"Good air didn't really arrive until late. Tried this, never really low but never that easy either with enough wind to cause some wave suppression and some sea air. Too late and too slow to beat the sea air up the Exe estuary, NTA was never going to be reachable so the offer of beer won out."
22 winch launches - more than Wednesday and Thursday. - J&P
