One of those Autumn days starting with North Hill in glorious sunshine over the fog in the valleys below, and light winds.

Some of the Thursday regulars had returned from holidays, but it was still a depleted group that got the kit out.

Winch launching to start and then cumulus clouds started forming just above launch height that spoilt the view of the fog tops. Even with plenty of cumulus around, it never got very soarable (even for Pete Startup) with just extended circuits for most.

It was a good day for training and card checkflights, and mid-afternoon the top cover arrived to save the problem of landing into-sun.

A glorious Autumn day, thanks to all for mucking in - 35 flights in all. - J&P
