Low cloud and poor visibility to start, winds forecast 1000/35. The clubhouse was fairly full with our members and visitors from Northill. The windsock predictably showed zero wind at the surface.
Sandra made a visit after her unpleasant motor cycle incident, Alan is still in hospital but cheerful and getting better. Hopefully they will be flying again soon.
Early pm the low cloud began to clear and the K13 checked things out with a quick climb to 7500ft in wave followed by an ear popping descent.
The wave established nicely to allow reliable beats from Meldon reservoir to Yelverton at height from 6000ft to 9000ft. James Hood took BVB up to 9000ft, probably the best height of the afternoon, several members experienced the fun of wave for the first time---so big grins all around.
Trevor landed out after several hours of exploration, and Alan Ballard landed out in the K6 after several minutes of exploration---but thats
gliding.
The day finished with a beer courtesy of Alan Ballard---cheers.
