Wednesday 12th August

A bright start with a strong north easterly wind and a long flying list, the early flights where quite rough just before lunch there were a few thermals to to be had, but they were difficult to stay in and short lived.

During the afternoon there was total cloud cover and no sign of thermals, we worked our way through the long list and all who wanted to fly did so, as so often the case at the end of the day the sun came out and it became warm and the thermals started to pop. - JSt 

And well done to Chris M for passing his Bronze exam with flying colours.
Had a lovely flight today with Justin in the DG505. Not as long as we would have liked but we just made it back from Cullompton at 1000, feet eyeing up the rifle range as a back up. Great experience for me to fly with such a legend! - Lisa
