The flying list was reasonably long by nine o'clock as both Wednesday & some Thursday regulars realised that this was potentially the best day of the week, the only thing that could spoil it was the forecast wind strength.
K21 waiting to launch (Mark Layton)
Early on the wind was light and only red card conditions but by lunchtime it was gusty yellow making the approaches a bit challenging but good for the soul!
Towing back (Mark Layton)
Soaring flights were there for the taking from the first launch as the thermals were breaking up anything the ridge might have to offer. Beside the two K21's and two Juniors six private gliders also ventured out all having soaring flights heading towards the M5 and beyond, Martin Woolner in KVM had the longest flight of just over 4 hours.
Best day of the week at North Hill (Mark Layton)
As the afternoon progressed the wind veered round to the west and the ridge started to work as the thermals died down. A very enjoyable day was had by all! - Mark Layton
