Weather was miserable to start with a brisk N/W
wind but by the time we got all the kit out and ready the
drizzle cleared and we had a reasonable cloud base.
The ridge was working on and off with a little bit
of thermal mixed in, many members had soaring flights, the Wednesday club kept
flying until Competiton Enterprise started at 3.45pm they launched 30
gliders in under an hour very good going! - JSt
At the morning Competition Enterprise briefing, Nick H received a prize for his first field landing with Muggles yesterday after helping out on many retrieves for others. It was clear that it would be a late start and a rebrief at 1330 followed.
Jill the Met. convinced Justin that a wave task was a good possibility and a task of 'The Compass Rose' was set (pilot declared O/R into each quadrant from Tiverton East with launching not before 15:30 and finish at Sunset.
In the event, cloudbase proved to be slightly lower than hoped for, but the forecast gaps opened up nicely and DD2 landed last just after 20:00.
