Early on the cloud cover was almost complete with a cloud base of an estimated 500 feet. The rotor / wave influence could be clearly seen but with the cloud cover it was a case of “rig and wait” for the 3 private gliders.
Late morning the cloud rolled away just enough to permit a 2 seater to launch. They found very rough rotor everywhere. More waiting then.
Mid afternoon the cloud cover openned a little more allowing another three K13 launches but still rotor, no proper wave.

The wind towards then end of the afternoon had built up to 25 knots or so on the ground and 40+ knots at 1000 feet. Discretion is the better part of valour so toys away and back to the clubhouse for tea and buscuits.
I bet tomorrow will be good.
