The first day of the course started with low cloud and less than full
height launches. But an enthusiastic bunch of students and helpers had the kit
out in good time for the flying to begin well before 10.00. Cloud base soon rose
to about 2000ft. There was some fairly gentle thermal activity at times allowing
extended flights but mostly the six students were doing circuits. The wind was
light southerly sometimes, SSE sometimes and SSW sometimes. A total of about 35
launches were flown plus one for Tom in DG1 who did his usual circuit!!!
