Thursday 16th July

Another day when some patience was needed.... the kit was prepared and walked to the end of the field for the easterly wind, and then some low cloud rolled in and seemed rather reluctant to lift, but after an early lunch, flying started.
Due to the late start, we had to restrict training to 2 flights each, but there were brief moments when it was pleasantly soarable (albeit to rather low levels) and with a strengthening southerly crosswind restricting the very early solos to dual flights.

The views from the west end as always were fabulous and commented on by many of our new members and visitors, and we were keeping a wary eye on the sea fog which started running up the Exe estuary and all along the coast.
We managed to got everybody flown before handing over to the evening helpers and changing ends.

The evening group of former member Nicky Summerfield enjoyed some extended flights on the south ridge/wave? and a barbeque. - J&P
