A slow start until the wind decided to do what had been forecast, and then it went good, soarable conditions. Training flights continued all day, and Roger Ellis converted to the Junior.
Great sky (Mark Layton)
Most had decent soaring flights but some only circuits. Great to see the Pawnee flying again - thanks to Ian and the team for getting it back on line. And a lot of final preparations for Competition Enterprise which starts on Saturday. The Wednesday evening crowd took over on Thursday at 18:00 with the better weather. - J&P

NH2 - Brayford [A]- DORCHESTER- NH2 214km
"Brayford, the first turnpoint, was supposed to be do-able in the light WNW breeze. The actual wind up there was 320/15kts so after 3 times trying to get there with me going down, Exmoor coming up and none of the wispy clouds working I gave up. Rest of the task was ok, even a bit of the sea breeze convergence in Dorset was working today! Poor task speed due to the faffing about trying to get to Brayford". - Pete Startup

NH2 - OKEHAMPTON EAST - DORCHESTER - WHIDDON DOWN [A] - NH2 220km
"Quite a low cloud base to start. Good climbs to Okehampton. Stayed high and slow and enjoyed good views to the coast. Dorechester was working well, then took the sea breeze front back, couldnt complete the task as west of North Hill looked to be in sea air". - Wyn Davies
