Although there weren't the lovely
conditions that yesterday offered, there was still lift and most of the time
around 5 gliders were soaring off the ridge. Several private gliders
were very active, Wyn in his LS7 and 2 K6's, one with Andrew L and
the other
with William and Heather (filling her boots as usual) plus Paul L in the SF27
enjoying the flying. In the afternoon several private gliders and club gliders were stuck to
the ridge which was chucking up weak thermals in abundance, but with a
tight working band up to 1500 feet. Rowan sat on the ridge for 2 hours in
the Libelle, for the longest flight of the day.
Ian M instructed at Halesland all morning and then Lisa
filled in whilst he just managed to make North Hill by 2pm to continue
duties there (what a busy chap he is). Martin
B enjoyed what should have been a couple of quick solo circuits
but he took advantage of the conditions and stayed up for his first hour flight.
A couple of trial lessons today
and Rob T enjoyed a flight with Roly. Some of the regular Saturday
members missing today as they were obviously recovering from a busy week
at Portmoak. Very cold today - Bring on the summer!!! - Lisa & Rowan
