Another day of blue skies and sunshine in a fresh north easterly, with clouds appearing during the afternoon. Fairly quiet on the flying lists again today due to the bank holiday weekend, but those who flew enjoyed some reasonable conditions with some getting away and others finding the sink.
James Flory enjoyed his 5 yr Instructor checks with Stuart Procter, and Pete Harmer likewise his 9 yr Instructor checks with Ian Mitchell.
Pete Startup 230 flew an out and return to Wells 117kms "Best thing about NE winds is that you can go across the Somerset Levels - sometimes........................"
Dan Hender JDP went to Halesland and back 113kms and has finally worked out how to put a flight on the ladder (thanks Phil) - but was disappointed with the points change when he changed the glider type from normal steed K6 to DG202!
Well done to Connor - field landings signed up (James Hood) |
And Rob Hender enjoyed an expensive 'hangar flight' in JZK via Cullompton with Dan. Thanks to everyone - busy day with few people - 44 winch launches and 4 aerotows - J&P
