Wednesday 13th July

We started flying before 10:00am and from the second launch it was obvious  the day was going to be something special with a brilliant looking sky there was a large contingent of private gliders rigging.

At timès it was difficult to get away with the conditions changing rapidly, one minute there was sink everywhere and next flight, off the clock lift, the conditions improved right up to the end of flying with very strong lift the the entire length of the ridge.
Good strong lift in most thermals (John Street)
The Falke arrived early to aerotow CCY to Mendip on loan to replace their K13 that is out of service, Peter Field was tuggie for the day. Peter Warren, John Street, John Sillett and Roly kept the four two seaters in the air all day, there is a rumour that Roly was seen flying a K21 with the DG505 sitting unused. Chris Warnes increased his solo hrs with a good flight in the Junior, it was nice to Dick Stevens back at the club after a break. - John Street
The Cross-country contingent found the conditions a little mixed, with some great climbs but unreliable clouds and streets that suffered from some wave interference in the 20knot north westerly wind. 
Pete Startup 230, Matt Wright M5 and Eric Alston G29 completed  the Club 100 Tiverton,  Crewkerne, but others struggled with some of the unreliable lift. - J&P
