Today’s forecast looked promising with a weak ridge of high pressure crossing the area. The start of the day was a little bit sleepy. This was not helped by the need to change ends after the first 2 launches discovered that although the wind at ground level was straight across the runway the air aloft had a considerable amount of west in it.
Thanks must go to all those who helped today including Bob Jones, recently returned from the Indian sub-continent, who spent the whole day on the winch. The flying day was cut short prematurely when the air cooled and led to the canopies misting instantly.

| Andrew looks very comfortable in the Faulke |
Meanwhile, one of our Astir syndicates i.e. Andrew Beaumont and Phil Hardwick were at North Hill flying in the Rotax Faulke with Ian Mitchell. They both completed their navigation and field landing checks and have therefore completed their Cross Country endorsements. Welcome to the ranks of the licenced glider pilot chaps and look forward to following your cross country exploits.
