Thursday 29th September


It was a slow start as expected as the early morning rain had provided  the humidity for orographic cloud after the cold front clearance. The north westerly wind was fairly brisk and gusty giving rise to the inevitable limitations for the early solo pilots.

It was soarable from first launch just before lunch time with 1500ft launches and the ridge working well to 1000ft and thermals kicking off to 2500ft lining up in some streets.
