Friday 17th April 2010 Portmoak Tales


Thursday started with a north easterly wind, but with a strange local wind on the field from the west which gave rubbish launches and a couple of end changes before the strong easterly sea breeze set in. Those that did manage to get away enjoyed soaring flights with clouds bases reaching 5500'. Martin in the KJW and Ron and Phil in 711 all turned Pitlochry for a short XC.

Friday's promised westerlies arrived just before lunch time and Nick Harrison leaped into the Oly and completed his Silver 5 hr duration and height badges, climbing in the wave which set up later in the afternoon. Congratulations dude!
