What another fabulous day on the Course! With Wednesday being a mid-week club day, the course members had the chance to experience a much busier environment, helping out alongside other club members and involving themselves in more complex ground operations. A big thank you to other club members for their patience and understanding with those less experienced course students!

NH2 - MELBURY BUBB - TIVERTON - BEAMINSTER - NHL 207Km
"Variable conditions - a couple of ballistic climbs but mostly hard work, a lot of the thermals being chopped up by the wind - will it ever calm down? In company with DD3. 66 obviously found it a lot easier than I did!" Pete Startup 230

| Sky looked better than it was (David Clements) |
"A harder day than it looked with very unreliable thermals, and a mish mash of convergences some good some not. A classic tale of the down side of an engine, we had to deviate to some suitable fields and then start early. Typically as soon as the engine was running we went straight into lift...the Duo doesn't normally climb at 9 knots! Good to get our bums of the ground at least." Phil Morrison DD3

NH2 - SHERBORNE - DULVERTON -NH2 - TIVERTON - NH2 180Kms
"DD3 and 230 had set off for Melbury Bubb but without my Oudie I had no chance of finding that so went on local bimble to Sherborne lake - as even I couldn't miss that! On returning to North Hill there was a wonderful street / convergence running to the NW so I was obliged to romp out to Dulverton and back." JB
