Sun 14 September - Portmoak

The group has grown a bit larger with the addition of Guy Adams, but a lackluster morning briefing announced light winds from the south (NOT what one wants to have at Portmoak), so a general decision was made to pass on circuit bashing flights and instead go for an extended walk. 

 

Non-flying day (Simon Minson)

Jules Minson won the distance award with a 16 mile loop of Loch Leven, while James Flory and family headed north to hike across and visit a proper rugged Scottish landscape. The rest of the group hiked some 4 miles around the Loch to a local farm shop for lunch, and then back to the gliding field. No flying today, but enjoyable company. 


 
Andy's Birthday (Simon Minson)

We headed to Kinross for a group dinner, where the highlight certainly was a group celebration of Andy Davey's birthday.
