Tuesday 13th August - Cross-country week

This had been forecast as the best day of the week but... with a north-westerly wind the ridge was not working so wave interference was suspected early on. Pete St, Discus 230, launched first and the sky looked quite good with reasonable sun on the ground. He tried yesterday's task and got to MUD to check on the CFI's runner beans, but then the sky cycled again and he beat a retreat back to the ridge which wasn't working. Adrian Jantar FDX  and Jeff Mosquito 380 local soared in the difficult conditions. Pete and Jill in Duo Discus OL were launched in the cycling sky and were soon running on the engine, motored to 3000 ft to look at the wave slots but found they kept closing up and the wave wasn't working anyway. Thanks to Robert for tugging again.
