With only two gliders Cirrus, CEC with Guy Adams and Mark Wallis and ASH 711 with Ron and Dan Johns, the North Hill contingent was a rather thin ! But so far we have flown 4 days with a great potential for Friday. Portmoak offering such a fabulous mixture of wave, ridge and volcanic thermals on Wednesday with a 6000ft cloudbase.

The club has been amazing helping us to get launched everyday even though now no professionals are employed. Ron even took an aerotow behind the smaller engine EuroFox 120 hp . In no wind and 27 degrees . I can honestly say I recognised every tree and swan around the Loch, but it does mean with a headwind it would be fine ish !
Scottish Hills (Dan Johns)
Mark had his first land out at Balado, which has upped his confidence ( if anyone has a used electronic gizmo he needs it ! ) We have another visit in September - let me know if members want to tag along. It’s a fabulous place to learn with a huge easy airfield and two amazing mountains to soar. - Ron Johns
