Dartmoor Gliding News-Friday 20th May 2016

The day started with first flight of the day by Dave Dowton to the backdrop of grey clouds with a cloud base that never increased above 1000 feet.

K13 G-CHXP stands out against the grey sky 
There was a short soaring flight for Heather Horsewell with myself and a rear seat practice flight for Steve Raine . New member David Wescott continued training with Gordon .

Heading south, looking east. The runway is on the left edge.
After a total of 9 launches the cloud base was down to around 600 feet so we returned to the clubhouse for a lecture of Threat and error management.

Thanks once again to Barry for the winching.
