Saturday 31st August

A funny day - strong northerly wind, in the ridge of very high pressure following the weak cold front that went through overnight. RASP suggested a short period of soarable conditions after lunch, however there was great expectation with 12 private gliders rigged. 
It became soarable  for about half an hour this morning but then it all switched off and didn't get going again until lunchtime. 
JB in Ventus and John P in Lak HOG got to Yeovil and back. Most of the other long flights were chasing up and down the long northerly streets looking for a hint of crosswind wave interference. Pete St Discus 230 managed to turn some turnpoints for 159K. - Pity the weather is not as good as the other side of the country......
