Tuesday 6th August - Course week

The day dawned bright and sunny with a chill in the air, and the grass was wet underfoot and had started growing again already.
Just before we got going, there was an interesting cloud formation in the valley. A towering cumulus developed as we watched and then it's source (a fire) stopped and the cloud was cut off from its thermal generator and spread out a little before disappearing.

The course flew all day, the clouds looked good out of range but within reach they were disappointing. Some short soaring flights were possible for most. Robin flew ASW27 JPT taking off just before lunch for 2 hours.
