The sky was looking much more hopeful as we headed to the club this morning. Still lowish clouds, but the forecast said they would lift until rain returned early afternoon. Most importantly, solid wind from the west made it almost certain the Bishop would be working.

Lowish clouds (Tom Sides) |
Not many SGC members at the club, but there were enough to help the North Hill group (now joined by Andy Williams in FUN) . We set up a launch grid, with Simon Minson and James Flory first off to finish James' site checks.

Clouds above the Bishop (Tom Sides) |
I took the next cable with Ron in 711 finding not only ridge flying but some light wave in front of the hill. Pete Startup was up next for an hour-plus flight of hill bashing, joined by Andy Davey in JB.

Having too much fun (Stu Procter) |
Stu Procter and James took JZK up while Simon flew his own glider. Guy Adams had over 1/2 hour in CEC and Andy Williams flew a bit over 20 minutes before the rain forced everyone down.

Enjoyable day (Tom Sides) |
A really enjoyable day. Or maybe it just seems so when you're flying at a great site.- Tom Sides
