Today saw us wrapped up against the biting SE wind under 2/8 cloud cover. Good news. The airfield has already dried out considerably and will be ready to roll tomorrow.

There was a good turn out of members which ensured a full day for instructor Ged Nevisky. The flights were mostly circuits but occasional thermal activity kept several pilots amused with the best being 19 minutes from Rick Wiles flying the K8. In case you are wondering, even with the strong south east wind there was no sign of wave, the wind and temperature profiles were all wrong.

Other things going on included the usual glider maintenance work by Chris and Martin who had spread out into the workshop to find warmth to enable their glues and potions to harden.

Alan Holland fitted a new total energy probe to the K8 hand crafted by himself as part of his quest to improve the variometer system. The winch drivers continue to get to grips with the Launch Assistant system.

And what are the best dressed glider pilots wearing this winter?
