The morning started with breakfast at 8am, and discussion immediately turned to how many times each member had used the facilities during the previous night, and how much the rest of the visitors had been disturbed!
The Juniors then had a ridge soaring briefing, lessons learned…. Charlie Stuckey can’t draw!

| DSGC Juniors at Long Mynd (Mark Courtney) |
Jack Raybould had check flights in the K13, which meant he could then fly the K6, while Simon Leeson and Mark Courtney started taking the youngsters new to the Long Mynd in the DG505, Harry Rigby, Harvey Skeggs and Josh Batchelor.
By 12pm Dan Hender was able to take the first launch in the Junior, followed by Josh Funnell and Charlie Stuckey. Launching continued through lunch, with members staggering their breaks to allow flying to continue.
Josh Batchelor and Charlie Broderick then both flew in the K13’s ready for the K6 later in the week. Charlie S then flew back seat with Simon in the DG.
With Ruth Comer, Dave Perriam, Mike Sloggett and Rob Hender getting in the air too a good day was had by all. Oscar helped on the airfield all afternoon retrieving and I even got my fix, by doing the logging for day! We finally packed away at 6pm, all needing to thaw out and ready for our evening meal. - Sally Hender
