The forecast looked much better for today than the last four weekends, so there were a few hopeful members in the clubhouse first thing. However, with low orographic cloud, there was a delayed start, the first launch at 11:05am. A blue card was put up, which meant the single seat list shortened, but with short flights no longer than 10mins quick work was made of both sides of the flying list.
Then Mr Warren got in the FZF hot seat…. needless to say he then stayed up for 48 mins with the South ridge working. Dan in frustration decided to rig JDP and the challenge was set to beat Peter’s time, he did, managing a flight of 88mins!

By 2pm we were very thin on the ground, most having stopped for lunch. But flying continued, Soren got a friends and family flight with Paul Summers, returning with a huge grin.

Flying continued until 4pm, with the skies darkening we packed it all away after a satisfactory day and 28 launches in total. - Sally Hender
