Sunday 12th April


Another day of spectacular, if local, soaring at North Hill.
There were areas where the viz and cloudbase were awful, and others where it was clear and stonking climbs to 4,500' were to be found plus the usual sea breeze interference in various places. Another Silver height today, this time for Paul Little - well done!
711 went to Roadford Res for the second day on the trot, this time having to cross a large area of dead sea air between South Molton and Okehampton to get there. Dave Reilly in AM started off in similar vein but threw in a circumnavigation of Dartmoor for good measure! 230 would like to have done the same but chickened out of crossing the sea air gap - curse my little wings! OL visited most of the farms and villages in Mid - Devon and our Chairman, Mike Fairclough decided to be different to everybody else and go East towards Yeovil - I think he found it different all right - he couldn't see a thing in the viz there!
Our visitors from Kestrel had another good day - they think it's like this here all the time! Their total for the weekend was three silver height claims and two Bronze C legs.
