Wednesday 5th December

A good forecast brought out plenty of members but the weather first thing was terrible with low cloud, rain, a freezing NNE wind, and a very wet field.

  It started to clear about 10.00am so the two K21s were pulled out and walked up to the S/W corner, the launches were difficult with the strong and backing crosswind.
 At lunch time the wind had backed enough for us to change ends, as soon as we did the launches improved and with the wind eventually ending westerly, the ridge started to work with the help of a little weak wave, the last six flights all had flights of around 30min.
 We stopped flying  about 4.15pm, when the gliders had ice on the wings, in the end we all had a really good day for early December. - JSt
