Thursday 18th April

Back from Eaglescott
Flying again at last - although the forecast was for heavy showers and a howling wind, but the streets set up early with a long two-seater list. Every flight was a soaring flight with strong thermals, equally strong squally gusts and the occasional rain break. All the training flights concentrated on enjoying the strong conditions of the very buoyant airmass in the local area. Matt in ASW20 M5, accompanied by Pete St Discus 230 and JB in the Ventus headed off to Eaglescott,  Pete struggled with the headwind and turned short, but Matt attempted a second out/ return before heading down to the south coast  with JB on the west facing ridges. 
Congrats to Malcolm V for completing his Bronze.
Training flights continued until nearly 7:00pm to complete the list. Thanks to everyone for staying late.
PS. I forgot to mention the swallows came back on Sunday 14th with the southerly wind.
