Wednesday 24th May

We are certainly getting big contrasts in the weather, today we had hot humid conditions with a mostly blue sky and hardly any wind, we set up shop in the S/W corner with the forecast giving an East wind.
To start with the cloud base was about 1,200ft with some thermal activity, as the day progressed the thermals managed to top at 2,500ft.

We had two trial lessons today and glider pilot from the US. Pete Warren was tuggie, Jeff, Nigel and Tim Johns flew their own gliders, those who flew at the right time had reasonable soaring flights.
The order of the day was plenty to drink and a good hat, makes a welcome change from sheltering from the wind and cold! - John Street
