Thursday 7th November

The rain on the cold front cleared south in the early morning leaving us under the veil of high cloud with very humid cool air, and a very light south westerly. The gliders were prepared and launch point set up but the humidity was so high that the cold canopies and airframes took til nearly lunchtime to be flyable. But Mark filled in the time with a Big Breakfast and a talk on Approach control.
There was an afternoon of extended circuits and reduced sink from a southerly wave influence, longest flight from the winch was Pete and Malcolm in K21 with 12 minutes on the hangar flight, but several gliders managed to do O/Rs to Hembury Hill - surely someone will put their flight on the BGA ladder today!
Red sky at night.........
 There was a lovely short-lived sunset to end a really pleasant day.
