The day started fine and blue but cumulus soon started to appear as we walked the gliders down to the West end. Both K21s and the Perkoz were used by 3 instructors to get through the dual list, for which many thanks, while the half dozen solo flyer used a junior. The DG505 was out on private hire.

Many reported good thermal activity, some getting averages in excess of +4, while others complained about the frequent downdraft they encountered. Can't please everyone I suppose. The cloudbase rose from about 3000ft at the start of the day to over 4500ft by the end.
6 private gliders·launched, some by aerotow, and good soaring was had by many. - Chris Warnes
