Sunday 13th March 2011

The usual suspects had the winch moved, all the toys out and airfield set up in  time for what promised to be a good day.

Don gave us a briefing;"Today will be blue, it might be possible for a silver distance to North Hill?"

Barry and I were advised to prepare ourselves and the K6. Result, did anyone get to North Hill? No!.I had a buttock clenching glide,back from 1400 feet QFE from out near the A30 just as well, it was down wind and I found some reduced sink en-route, I  had a great flight and would not have gone off up/cross wind on a blue day, had Don not suggested North Hill.

K8 on final approach after a local soaring flight.

David Jesty, Martin Cropper and Don, were kept busy with training and air experience flights all day. The solo pilots also enjoyed some local soaring.

Thanks to Alan Carter and Heather who kept us supplied with cables. Every one flew that wanted ,the sun shone and a good day was had by all.
