The day started with low cloud and poor visibility and a strong northeasterly wind gusting to over 20 knots, the good news was the wind was right down the field, so after a quick visit to the southwest corner we decided to give it a go.
John Sillett and John Street took a weather check flight - the conditions were certainly character building.
Cold and gusty (John Street)
We decided to limit the flights to two flights each, most were fairly short considering the very high launches we were getting because of large areas of sink, the highest launch recorded was 1,900ft.
Who had the longest flight? (John Street)
By midday, the wind had slackened a shade and thermal climbs to cloud base were possible for the lucky ones, if the wind hadn't been so strong it would have been a very good soaring day. By the afternoon, with the wind cooperating, yellow card pilots were able to fly solo if they wanted to. - John Street
