Another wiped out midweek - thanks to Storm Babet this time (although Devon missed the worst of it thankfully).
At the start of the day, only a few folks were around, but as the weather looked good, we got the gliders ready - the DG505, both K21s, and a Junior.
The first flight of the day took off just after 10 am, -missing out on the discounted rate! Some of the solo pilots ventured south and found some weak wave leading to reduced sink rates and extended circuits.

As more instructors arrived, we brought out the Perkoz. Simon Minson and Ashley Thomas went for a spinning sortie (sick bag remaining empty).

It turned out to be a good day at the North Hill, and we owe a big thanks to Peter Smith, Simon Minson, James Flory, and Guy Adams for their instructing skills. They made sure everyone had a safe and enjoyable day in the air. 29 winch launches and 10 aerotows in all. - Connor Williams
