The wind today was NNE and 12 knots on the airfield. The temperature never got above freezing which although a little uncomfortable at least meant that the runway was not muddy. Is this the DGS version of permafrost?
The pilots all got some soaring on the north ridge while trying to connect with the wave system, generated by the north edge of the moor, which was evident from the lenticulars downwind of us. This wind direction also gave the opportunity to practice circuit planning in the tricky crosswind conditions.
Many thanks to CFI Don who took on the Wednesday duty at short notice and helped everyone with his extensive ridge flying knowledge and experience.
