Wednesday 6th January

2016 got off to a good start for the Wednesday club with a good turnout of members, once again the recent spell of wet weather meant it was aerotow only, after Mike Fitz and John Sil had inspected the field.
Aerotows got underway with Mike Fitz and John St about 10:30am, first in the air after a short delay due to the the orographic cloud collecting on the west ridge, once airborne the visibility was clear as far as Dartmoor.
Although there was very little sink about and bits of  'zero'- most flights were about 20mins or so Martin W was the only one to find any lift and climbed a staggering 50ft!
We had three two-seaters on the go and a Junior and the aerotowing was non-stop until 3:30pm when we had to stop because of misting canopies, everyone flew and some had second helpings, thanks again to Robert for his superb aerotows and to Matt who held the fort whilst Robert had a break.

As soon as the kit was washed and put away all willing hands helped rig KEK after its Annual inspection. Thanks to Ian, Andrew and JB for hours and hours of hard waxing and polishing.- JSt
