Wednesday 26th February

At last!  - Brilliant weather on a Wednesday, a good forecast  for a bright start to the day and a long list ot members wanting to fly.
First though we had to inspect the condition of the field, after much deliberation and reports of several cable breaks on Saturday we decided to change the South cable to give the field time to dry out a bit.
The field was still a bit wet so great care was taken in locating the LPV and cable run, from the start the ridge was working, so all the available two-seaters were in the air and both Juniors.
All solo pilots had good soaring flights and the two-seaters had to be called down on a couple of occasions so we could fit all the flights in.
The demolition crew were hard at work dismantling a couple of caravans and Pete CFI demonstrated how to plough a field with a Volvo (unfortunately finding a very soggy bit of ground).
Stu checked out Carl in VG after the long break from flying the Motor Falke.
A very rewarding day with good ridge lift, a bit of weak wave and thermals up to 2,500ft and just a couple of hail showers. -JSt
