With a clear sky and the wind forecast to swing into the east there was great expectation for a good flying day with several private gliders coming out for an airing.

The launch point was busy throughout the day as pilots searched and searched for the elusive wave / thermals without too much success.

Don took the SF27 up for a “quick test flight” gave a soaring demonstration on the north ridge landing after 35 minutes. How does he do that?

So what did we achieve. Well, 46 launches including first flights on type for Matthew Wiles ( SF27 ) and Richard Williamson ( K6), 3 air experience flights and a lot of pilots with smiles on their faces.

Thanks Sandra for the information and pictures, and Scratch and Rick for the great winch driving.
