Good trip to Portmoak for a few days with the most stunning weather, although with Portmoak being in the centre of a huge high pressure system there was never going to be much wind - definitely not enough for wave.

However the first few days provided plenty of ridge and thermal soaring for the 6 gliders and 9 pilots who made the trip, especially Mark Wallis who on his first trip got cleared to fly from Portmoak, winch and aerotow in his Cirrus and had a fine old time.

When the weather became totally windless but hot and blue a few did the tourist thing and visited the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies (look it up) while others slowly drifted home.
