The hangar was emptied and the Club gliders were joined at the launch point by a number of private gliders.
Still waiting for grass to grow on the seeded area (Stewart Henshall) |
A task was created by Pete Startup and Phil Morrison for the Pundits, to make the most of the short day and limited area available NHL - HOL - WIM - TAU - NHL 198kms With Pete 230, Simon Minson SM and Phil Morrison and Nick Jones DD3 all completing the task.
"It was never going to be a strong , high or long day, or fast. This task was about right for the conditions. Bit of a messy sea air convergence between HOL and WIM. Nice day out with fellow NH Nomads SM and DD3. And anyway, speed points are so last year.................." Pete Startup 230
A really nice afternoon (Stewart Henshall) |
And back at North Hill it turned into a really nice afternoon with many gliders local soaring. 36 winch launches and 5 aerotows. Thanks to Josh Funnell for looking after the Trial lessons and some Family and Friends flights. - J&P
