Saturday 1st November

A cold front overnight cleared a load of low cloud and drizzle and left beautiful clear air over North Hill and the members turned out in force. The flying list was rather long by 09:00 but Mark set to work straightaway, although the south westerly wind started picking up making the approaches increasingly challenging. It became quite soarable with the usual Broadhembury valley lift. 

Thanks to Andrew L and Tim P for sorting out the main wheel and wheelbrake of HCX. Thanks to Stu, Peter Sm and Pete H for instructing in the afternoon. 
We also welcomed George from Cambridge Gliding Club, who is planning to move to Devon soon, he enjoyed the beautiful clear views of the Exe estuary today.

Congratulations to Matthew W who took the SF27 to Mendip and flew for 5 hours on their ridge and in wave to 4000ft completing his Silver badge.
Henry in JD7 also flew at Mendip reaching 2800ft in wave
