I set out for the airfield today under a clear blue sky. Excellent. The day was exactly as forecast. Little or no cloud, strengthening wind from the north, north west, giving way to showers by evening.

The airfield is still wet so it was decided to just use the K13 to minimise any damage to the surface. The unstable airflow started to give some thermal activity and by 2pm climbs of 4 knots were being reported and the cloud streets were a pleasing sight after this seemingly endless winter.

Visiting pilot Sarah Reed, a Silver C pilot from Usk flew with us today. As Sarah is studying at Plymouth University I expect she will be a regular visitor. We also welcomed visitor Jo who enjoyed her flights with Ged. Best flight today was by Mike Gadd who chose to return after 30 minutes of playing at the 2400 feet cloudbase.
