Sat 2nd August

 With a highly promising forecast from RASP, expectations for Saturday were understandably high. The outlook proved too tempting to resist, and Josh had pre-booked the Junior with the intention of attempting a 50km flight to The Park. Word of the forecast favourable conditions spread quickly, resulting in a busy and  lively clubhouse. Among those in attendance were two junior members visiting from Brentor, along with several new members keen to experience gliding first-hand.
     

In preparation, K6 DRE was rigged —many thanks to those who helped get it ready. Private owners also arrived early, rigging or pulling up to the launch point with hopes of making the most of what was forecast to be an excellent soaring day.
     

However, the weather had not developed as anticipated—at least initially. The morning remained stubbornly overcast, suppressing thermal activity and leaving many gliders unable to stay airborne for long. Early flights proved underwhelming, and both private owners and club flyers were left somewhat disheartened by the gap between forecast and reality.
     

After a break for lunch, however, the day took a welcome turn. As the cloud cover began to lift and the sun finally appeared, thermal activity improved significantly. Pilots who had earlier struggled were now launching again—this time with far more encouraging results.

 

Well done Joel 2 hours in K6 DRE (Ivan Roulson)

   
By mid-afternoon, soaring conditions had transformed. Pilots were staying aloft for extended periods, with many enjoying long and rewarding flights. Joel Roulson notably achieved his first full soaring hour  and carried on for a second in the K6, having an excellent flight, clearly relishing the conditions and the opportunity. There were also successful cross-country flights from Pete Startup and Ron Johns, with Ron’s being the longest flight of the day—an impressive 5 hours and 6 minutes.

"Trainspottin'. Despite early gloom at the overcast sky it turned out to be a nice day. Went too early but the Cu embedded in the overcast worked ok. Slow in Devon to start with and a bit soft coming back over the Levels later but the bit in the middle was nice." - Pete Startup

Ron Johns with Trevor Russell 711 completed 369km NH2 - Candover Church - Didcot -NHL

"So grey to start but seemed to work , good run until re crossing levels on return . Trevor’s longest flight . Great day out !" - Ron Johns

Josh Howlett had two attempts to get away in the Junior (but probably too early) and helped out on the winch all afternoon.     

Across the fleet, a total of 56 hours were logged in the air, with many individual flights reaching or exceeding 30 minutes, an hour, and even two hours. It was a remarkable turnaround, and the earlier frustrations were soon forgotten as the day evolved into a thoroughly enjoyable and  productive one for most.
     
Many thanks to all who contributed to the day’s operations, including those who helped with launching, rigging, and providing a warm welcome to our visitors and new members. It was a fine example of how perseverance and teamwork can turn a slow start into a memorable and successful day at the club. - Joel Roulson

Thur 31st July

 The day began with overcast skies and steady rain, with the promise of the weather changing. However, the decision was made to get the equipment out regardless and prepare for the possibility of improving conditions. The club fleet was readied early, including both K21s, the Junior, and the Perkoz (the DG505 was brought out later in the afternoon once the weather began to improve.) 

The first launch took place at 10:44 with a met flight flown by Mike Sloggett and Joel Roulson as passenger. Cloudbase at that time was approximately 1000 feet, which limited soaring opportunities but allowed for early flights. Conditions remained stable through the morning with limited lift, but the operation continued steadily with instructional and local flights all while the cloudbase was lifting.

Congratulations to Paul Medlock  for passing his acceptance flights  with Mark Courtney after completing his Basic Instructor rating with Simon Minson RE at the weekend.

 

Cloudbase rising (Mark Layton)

By around 2:00pm, the weather began to improve, with thermals starting to develop and cloudbase rising. This marked the beginning of the soarable period of the day. Several private owners took the opportunity to launch their gliders, making the most of the window of good soaring conditions. 
     
One of the most notable flights came from Kevin Fairburn in his DG100, who managed to stay airborne for 2 hours and 12 minutes, the longest flight recorded on the day. Other private owners also had successful soaring flights during this period. 

     
 

Paul Summers waiting for a cable (Mark Layton)

In total, 28 club flights were completed. Among the success was Joel Roulson successfully completing his red card checks. The day also included several trial flight participants, several of whom experienced their first ever glider flights and left with very positive feedback.      

Despite the challenging start to the day, the club managed to run a full flying program, with progress made in training, good soaring achieved in the afternoon, and a solid number of launches completed. = Joel Roulson

Wed 30th July

 First thing the conditions didn't look too promising but RASP suggested that the afternoon could be reasonable.  

Peter Smith, after a brief lay-off had a check flight with Glenn Turpin before sharing instructional duties for the day. The first few flights were short in the overcast sky but there was lift about, but the sun managed to break through and the conditions changed for the better.  

 

Overcast at first (Mark Layton)

From 1400 hrs on, things gradually got better and the thermals were quite strong at times as the vario touched six up. A handful of private gliders joined in but didn't venture very far. Intially with only a 2000 to 2500 ft cloudbase and thermals quite close to NHL the sky was crowded at times and a good lookout was needed.

 Two of the roofers who had been working hard on the clubhouse roof the last week were rewarded with flights with Peter Smith and Dave Perriam. Both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. - Mark Layton

Sun 27th July

Today was an interesting day starting out with less-pleasing weather than what was forecast. Paul Medlock and Simon Minson had the first winch launch to continue Paul Medlocks’ BI rating. Following in ‘tow’ was Gill Morrison who went solo on aero tow- congratulations Gill! 

Congratulations Gill Morrison solo aerotow (Mike Sloggett)

 

Mike Sloggett and Guy Adams continued to work through the days' flying list while Simon Jordy looked after the trial flight visitors . By the end of the day it was congratulations to Paul Medlock who passed his BI test with Simon,  (even with a field landing yesterday from a very awkward height simulated launch failure- just needs CFI approval now.
 
Overall the most was made of the conditions and fun was had by all, thank you to everyone who stayed to help towards the end of the day. - Luke Stabb  Junior member

Fri 25th July - Brentor

 The start of the 2nd Brentor trip of the year began at about 8am with Mike B  (DGS) and myself getting the parachutes out of their storage room. Later followed by a few Brentor juniors helping us get the gliders out of their hangar.

 

Brentor Church (Jack Sewell)

After the gliders had been DI'd, everyone headed over to the clubhouse for the daily briefing by Duty Instructor Peter Howarth and a fairly quick visitor briefing by Gavin Short.
After the briefings, the DSGC pilots headed up to the other end of the airfield whilst the Brentor pilots brought up the gliders.

 

DGS Launch control (Mike Horwood)

After the gliders were brought up to the launch control (a lovely bus with a 360* view cabin) aerotowing started with Mark Courtney piloting the EuroFox first. 

 

Simon Jordy - first time flying at Brentor (Mike Horwood)

 After a few flights, Simon Jordy took over tug duty. Mike Sloggett and and Steve Westlake were today's DSGC aerotow instructors. 

 

Brentor grid (Mike Horwood)

The North Hill pilots were; Josh Howlett who achieved a 40 minute flight in the K8 with  weird conditions at that point of the day, Mike Sloggett who spent all day instructing as well as Steve Westlake, Mark and Simon who did amazing tug duty all day, Dave Perriam who decided to fly solo in the K13, Jack (me) 2 seater training achieved 35 minutes, Chris Mew did 2-seater training with Mike, Chris Warnes flew in North Hill's old K13 CCY and Mike Horwood had 28 mins in their K13, with David Sewell who didn't fly but helped out when  needed.

CCY new colour scheme (Jack Sewell)

There were a few thermals today with the longest flight being 46 minutes, achieved by Jamie Young DGS.  There wasn't too much wind today so a couple of DGS juniors went solo in the K8.

An average day for Brentor  but normally without the tug! 
Thank you DGS for your amazing instructing and super welcoming and friendly members. Definitely worth going.- Jack Sewell (first-time blogger)

Thur 24th July

 A very long two-seater flying list heralded the start of the school holidays with some of our regular Junior members joined by some new potential members. Mike Sloggett  assisted by Chris Wool, Ron Johns, briefly  by  James Flory and Andy Pincombe, and BIs Dave Perriam and Paul Summers worked there way steadily through. 

In the morning it was mainly short flights  - made worse by the northerly crosswind. The private owners were disappointed with a load of spreadout after a good forecast - with Pete Startup having to take a second launch aerotow to get away.

Afternoon weather (Jill Harmer)

 But steadily through the afternoon the spreadout cleared and the promised good soaring appeared.

Pete Startup 230 completed the Club 100 and then went to check on the level of Wimbleball Reservoir. John Borland FAJ "Rasp promised a very good day but sadly did not materialize. Winch launch and a story of not reaching TIV and not getting beyond Wellington monument." But hey - these were the only flights on the BGA ladder today!

Cheerful contractors despite opening a pandora's box! (Peter Smith)

 So with 35 winch launches and 4 aerotows, and not quite up to forecast red RASP, but enjoyable for a few lucky ones. Thanks to those who put in long stints on the winch today, and good to see the great progress being made with the Clubhouse roof renovation under the stewardship of Peter Smith. - J&P

 

Wed 23rd July

After Duty Instructor Glenn Turpin's delayed Daily Brief, which gave the weather a chance to decide what it wanted to do, two K21's and a Junior were walked up to the west end due the dead north crosswind. Aided by duty tuggie Peter Field, training flights started under a promising sky. Despite RASP, the Met Office and all the other usual prediction tools indicating a good soarable day, things unfortunately didn't work out that way except for a lucky few. During the morning, flights were relatively short as there wasn't much lift to be easily found amongst all the heavy sink, even under the most promising of clouds.  

 

Promising clouds (Mark Layton)

After an early lunch (not enough members present to carry on through) the EuroFox was brought out and some experienced extended flights but even a 2000ft aerotow couldn't guarantee it being any longer than a winch launch!  

 

More promising clouds (Mark Layton)

Jeff Taberham in 380 was the only private glider pilot and managed 90 mins whilst several others had around the 40 mins mark. New member Paul Thompson, who only completed his First Flight last week returned and got bombarded with training from all sides, both on the ground and in the air. It paid off as he got numerous boxes ticketed off in his training card after a 40 min flight with Glenn. 

 

Some were lucky (Mark Layton)

By about 16:30 everyone had flown, so the gliders were brought home with hangar landing flights except Chris Warnes who managed to climb away to cloudbase and only came down once everything had been packed away.  

 A strange sort of day with the promising clouds not really delivering what was forecast, but plenty of those present got something out of the day so it was more than worthwhile.  - Mark Layton

Thurs 17th July

Today's fantastic dark moody dramatic sky was ideal for a black and white landscape photographer but less so for glider pilots. 

 

Moody sky (Mark Courtney)

 

 But after weeks of blue skies you can't have everything I suppose. The CFI's enthusiasm to get everything ready despite the low cloud first thing was met with slightly less excitement from everyone else - but out it all came. The full clubhouse for the briefing quickly dispersed to do various jobs around the club waiting for the cloudbase to rise high enough to attempt a launch. 

 

 

Frequent rain showers during the morning ( Mark Layton)

The first few launches were short due to the conditions and the frequent rain showers that passed through until after lunch. As the afternoon went on and full height launches were achievable, the flight times increased allowing the training to continue but were limited to two flights each to enable everyone to get airborne including a couple of trial lessons. 

 

Launching the Perkoz (Mark Layton)

 

The aforementioned dark moody clouds were never far away and threatened to spoil the day but thankfully they didn't and we all managed to achieve something whether it was training flights, currency checks or just flying for fun before we packed up a happy bunch! - Mark Layton

June 2025 - Barcelonette W7

 “ struggled to stay airborne and happy to land after an hour of scratching”. 

“ First 4 hours spent climbing a bit and sinking a lot on the N side. Dash to South, climb but not enough, back to N. Back and forth, and then followed a local K13, hit the “spot” on N side and escaped the immediate valley, only to find the surrounding mountains surrounded by turbulent climbs and crashing sink, happy to land after 5 hours”

Climbing on the local mountain (Wyn Davies)

The attached photos are of the obligatory”glacier blanc” and various views taken during some days when gliding conditions were perfect, when the valley breeze worked as advertised and all the Alpine hot spots gave generously of their predictable thermals.

However, not 2 weeks into a planned month stay, I ruptured the Achilles tendon of my right leg, whilst helping push a friend's light aircraft. A&E in Gap hospital were superb, and had me stitched and plastered up within 3 days. John Allan kindly derigged W7 and helped Marie prepare the trailer for the long drive home. ( The brownie point debt I'm in, for 14 hours of Marie towing my glider home is not insubstantial).

The recovery time for this injury doesn't bear thinking about. I look forward to venturing back to NH when fitness returns, which will be in a few day's/week's/month's time. - Wyn Davies W7 

July 17th (2 weeks post-op and counting)

Sun 13th July

After yesterday's sun and heat with just a few flights, it was another sun day today, blue skies for much of the day with the only cloud of any note seen late afternoon with the high cloud a possible indication of an imminent change in the weather of the last week or so. With only mad dogs and Englishmen, and oh glider pilots, spending the day in the midday sun, and limited thermic activity forecast, today was likely to be one of maintaining currency and/or practising launches circuits and landings. 

 

The airfield has turned brown (Mike Sloggett)

As it happened the day provided more interest than anticipated primarily due to the forecast wind strength and direction from lunchtime onwards requiring a change of card cloud from yellow to blue - fortunately Tom Sides had already completed the day’s booked visitor flights 

The morning briefing had been to a small but keen group of members and whilst the group was somewhat limited in experience a plan was worked out amongst the winch drivers and loggers present - with training very much part of the plan. During the morning Mike Sloggett and James Flory worked their way through the flying list with James juggling instructor and tug pilot duties. 

 

North Hill needs some rain (Mike Sloggett)

A short lunchbreak was needed to allow all to recharge and refresh, with the afternoon wind direction and strength providing opportunity for experience in the ‘interesting’ conditions. The day had seen some ‘blue thermals’ around which enabled extended flight times if one was lucky enough to ‘stumble’ into same.

By late afternoon with the flying list completed the K21s and Junior, as the only Club gliders in use today. were flown down to the other end of the airfield.

A good day enjoyed by all,  with great teamwork.  - Mike Sloggett

Sat 12th July - CE25

 Briefing was delayed until 10:30am today as we had ANOTHER Royal Flight, seriously affecting our flying, no one could launch before 2pm! So we literally gridded, and first launch was at 2:02pm as soon as we were able. 

An ever-decreasing circles Task was set for today, and to allow for the heat, the length of flying each previous day, and the prize giving scheduled for 7pm this evening, a two hour time limit was placed on the day. 

Ever Decreasing Circles

Most of our group decided another flying day was a step too far, and derigged. All except JB and JP in the Eagle (AXJ). Robert Vaughan again flew and offered his back seat to Rob in (FZ).

FZ with Rob Vaughan and Rob Hender (Sally Hender)

 

It was a completely blue day, but the thermal strength was very good if you could find them. Rob and Rob headed north east towards Stratford, 60km away from Aston Down, then reassessing when they got there, however en-route, they made an early reassessment, turned Evesham claiming the 40km ring.  John and John, followed a similar line, heading towards Evesham, but not quite getting to their target. Due to the timed nature of the task, both gliders were back at the airfield by 5pm, where they were derigged ready for the journey home. 

 

Congratulations to Dan Hender - Blunt Nails Trophy

Prize giving commenced at 7:30pm, in the bar. There was a surprise winner of the Blunt Nails Trophy, Dan Hender retained the award, for best pilot performing well, with low experience or flying a low performance aircraft. Final results available here. 

Team DSGC (Sally Hender)

We then retired to the pub, for our final evening meal. What an amazing week! Thank you to all the North Hill pilots for making it an enjoyable trip, to the Cotswold Gliding Club for hosting a great competition, Competition Enterprise team for their hard work and a special thanks to Robert Vaughan (FZ) for putting up with Rob for two days!  - Sally Hender

Fri 11th July - Course week summary

 The July course ended on many high notes, after 5 days of very successful flying. The weather played ball with some great soaring conditions although the wind could have been a little better behaved at times, and as for the temperature it just got hotter! 

 

July course (Angela Pitts)

All the course members managed to either achieve their goals or make good inroads to them. Karen King and Harry Rigby both re-soled and had great soaring flights, Julian West finished his card checks had a few great flights in the Junior and is ready for the next step and do his Bronze. Chris Coville completed his card checks and was soon soaring like he’d never been away, Mike Meatyard made great steps back to regaining his currency and finishing his card checks and last but by no means lease Benjie Pitts flew brilliantly all week leading to his first solo on Friday at just 14 years old, with proud and slightly nervous mum watching! Well done Benjie, probably the youngest qualified solo pilot in the country right now!!

 

Stuart Procter congratulates Benjie Pitts  - first solo at 14yrs (Karen King)

On top of all this several people on the course and other club members will be submitting badge claims following the great conditions on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

Chris Coville - Silver height gain (on Friday)
Julian West - Silver height gain (on Wednesday)
Josh Howlett  - Silver/Gold duration and Silver height gain (on Thursday)
Kevin Fairburn - Silver height gain (on Thursday) 

As always the course couldn’t have been such a success without the support from the course helpers. Our thanks goes to Mike Rigby, the ever present Dave Perriam, Tom Sides and Nicholas Johnson. Special thanks also go to Angela Pitts, Benjie’s mum who stepped in and helped to run the launch point. Vicky as always served up excellent food throughout in a kitchen which must have felt more like an oven.

Overall a hot but very successful course. - James  Flory and Stu Procter

Fri 11th July - CE25

 How do you write a blog and make it sound different, when each day mirrors the last? I have no idea! Many of the pilots today, were heard to say it was the best day they had ever flown! And what a day it was! Launching began at 12:00pm, and temperatures on the tarmac airfield were hitting 36 degrees, not particularly comfortable! I wasn’t jumping up when they asked for volunteers to run wings! 

Gridding (Sally Hender)

 

The days Task was a tennis themed task, but the distances that were flown were phenomenal! Bob Bromwich managing over 1000 points, which is unheard of for Enterprise. Dan (JDP) decided not to bother with the Task and set himself a route towards Lasham across to Keevil and return, which was 320km, and started practicing for the Junior Nationals trying to do a racing speed. He managed it at 106kph! He definitely returned with a smile. 

 

Rob Hender in FZ (Sally Hender)

Rob was kindly offered a flight with Robert Vaughan in his Duo Discus (FZ), and thoroughly enjoyed his flight which included a sea crossing across the Severn and a trip into Wales! JB and JP did 300km, an outstanding achievement in the Eagle. Phil Morrison flew with Shaun Dayman giving him an extended flight. And Paul Medlock flew the task in JDD, feeling much better, and again returning with a massive smile on his face. 

DSGC Team photo (Sally Hender)

We all then headed to the clubhouse for the end of week meal, which was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you to the Cotswold Gliding Club for hosting a lovely event. - Sally Hender

Thurs 10th July - CE25

 

DD3 (Rob Hender)

I got offered the fantastic opportunity this morning to fly today with Phil Morrison in the Duo Discus. We launched from almost the back of the grid into a difficult sky. Having scratched around fairly unsuccessfully for lift we headed south east. What an amazing flight, there were a few blue gaps we had to jump, but in the main, a lovely fairly easy flight, with great lift. Phil even trusted me to take control for parts of the flight, however as soon as we were joined by anyone else I made him take it back!
What a day! Fantastic 322km, 4 hours 10 mins!!! What an experience! -  Sally Hender

Wed 9th July - CE25

 Eat, sleep, glide, repeat!!! Again the briefing was at 10:00am, and again the forecast was stonking! A three-legged spider task was set. 

Stonking! (Sally Hender)

Today we had Dan Hender (JDP), JB and JP in the eagle (AXJ), Ron and Dan Johns (711), and Phil Morrison and Rob Hender (DD3). Unfortunately Paul Medlock was feeling unwell, but it gave Shaun Dayman the opportunity to fly (JDD) and Alan Rappaport rigged and flew his SF27 (FHW). 

 

Enterprise Fun in the Eagle (JB)

The grid started launching at 11.30am and the competitors headed in all three differing directions!

 

Three-legged Spider

Dan:
"I planned to try to fly my 300km diamond  Lasham, Taunton and not really bother too much with the task, but as I started heading south the weather to the west wasn’t looking appealing. So I changed my mind and took in the turn points, got to Lasham then headed back and up and headed west. 

 

Dan with one of Sally's hats (Sally Hender)

I turned Shelton Mallet and headed home, still at 3000ft when I got to Aston Down, I was then tempted towards Gloucester to grab the extra turn point. "

Rob Hender:
"Change of crew for DD3, Alan was convinced into flying his own glider, so I was kindly offered the spare seat."

Phil and Rob DD3 (Sally Hender)

Phil Morrison:
"We decided before we left to go down the southern leg then across the bottom in familiar territory, then back up from Taunton. As we headed south the weather looked to improve to the west with the wispy bits improving. 

 

Salisbury Cathedral (Rob Hender)

Flew over Salisbury, north of Yeovilton, stopping at Shepton Mallett, thinking Taunton was a step too far as the Somerset levels were doing their usual thing. Trowbridge gave us some lift. Got back and went to do Cirencester, but quickly realised we had already done it, so headed to Gloucester instead. 
On our travels we spotted local pilot Pete Startup (230) on his way up to Salisbury. "

Alan Rappaport: 
"The weather was much better than forecast. A classic looking gliding sky. I planned a quick 100 km triangle from Aston Down to Gloucester Canal to Melksham and back to Aston Down. Started a little late around 13:20, and the task took around 2 hours 20 mins. I tried to stay reasonably high, above 3000 feet. Generally, the flight went well, with some very good bits and some awkward bits. As usual, I had gadget and knowhow issues, so the flight wasn't declared, but otherwise it was a good day and a good  flight."

Prelim scores

Another hot day, but everyone got back to the airfield, which meant we could spend a lovely evening at a local pub. - Sally Hender

Tues 8th July - CE25

 Briefing at 10am, gave another very optimistic day, but blue!
The Spider task was set for today, with four turn points to achieve around Aston Down, either clockwise or anti-clockwise. 

All five North Hill gliders were on the grid by the 11:00am launch start time. Same pilots as yesterday: Dan Hender (JDP), Paul Medlock (JDD), Phil Morrison and Alan Rappaport (DD3), Ron and Dan Johns (711) and team Eagle, JB and JP (AXJ). The whole grid was launched within the hour by 12:00, and off into the blue they went. 

 

Ron & Dan went to Lasham and back (Rob Hender)

Dan managed all four turn points, but having a late/long day yesterday and a poor nights sleep, safely returned to the airfield early. Paul, Phil/Alan and JB/JP all achieved the four turn points and clocked up OLC distance… points to follow. Ron and Dan Johns took their adventures to Lasham and back. 

 

Paul  enjoying the blue (Rob Hender)

Paul:
Another enjoyable flight. Blue thermals showing eight on the averager, even when I’d put the gear and flap one down, so kept going. Fantastic visibility, even got around all four turnpoints. Two and a half hours spent with a big grin. 

 

JP busy with flying and cooking (Rob Hender)

Mon 7th July - CE25

Briefing at 10am, with a very optimistic weather forecast, looking like a very good day ahead. However…. Airspace restrictions for the Royal Flight could put a fly in the ointment!
The grid was set up early, but with the restrictions, launching was held until 12:00pm. However, as soon as possible launching commenced, 12:07pm was the first launch, and with the four tugs, the grid was completed by 1pm.
All four of the North Hill gliders flew today, Dan Hender (JDP), Paul Medlock (JDD), Phil Morrison and Alan Rappaport (DD3) and JB and JP (AXJ) bringing up the rear!


 

Waiting for the off (Rob Hender)

Dan:
"Flew north 5km to the first turn point, then headed south, smashing all the turn points along the way, got to Weymouth to achieve Bonus Sea points. Then headed west to attempt extra distance, then I turned east and aimed for Lasham where I thought the weather was supposed to be bombastic! Fairly straightforward leg, but not as good as I hoped. Plan to get to Lasham go past and return to Lasham, but ended up turning as the weather looked as though it was deteriorating.
Headed back the way I came, struggled and got disconnected from the climbs, so ended up landing at The Park."

 

JDP at The Park - long retrieve (Sally Hender)

JP:
"Very windy and broken thermals, we really struggled to get going. Glorious running last bit to Weymouth but a slog after turning back into wind. Tag teamed with flying!

Bonus Sea Points (John Pursey)

 

Compton Abbas (John Pursey)

Team Hender got back at 10pm after an enjoyable pub meal. Team Eagle assisted by team JDD (Paul and Shaun) finally got back at 11pm and enjoyed a quick pasta meal before retiring for the evening. (Rigging can wait until tomorrow)!
