Tues 3rd August - Course Week

There was low cloud and fog lifting in the valley but it didn't delay the start with the first launch  before 10:00. The cloud bubbled up and the first soaring flight was at 11:00.  It was a good soaring window, but it only lasted until lunch time, when the sea air had come through and the top cover increased. 

 

Well done to Chis - back solo (Jill Harmer)

Chris Woodward was given the normal check flights and then resoled the K21 after the Covid layoff. Roger Davis who is visiting North Hill from Rattlesden enjoyed an hour in the Junior including a trip to Tiverton.

So a good training day in very benign wind conditions meant all course members made some progress. - J&P
