Thursday 17th July

A bit of a slow start with some low cloud clearing, and an easterly breeze meaning a walk to the other end of the field. But flying started just after 10:00am when cloudbase had risen above launch height. It turned out to be quite soarable under the overcast. Just before lunch, the cloud started to break allowing the sun through and thermals up to 2000ft. Late afternoon, the sea air came in and the circuits became quite short. Longest flight - just less than 1 hour, was Pete St in HEB who made a dash for the edge of the sea air.
