We were in a quiet gap in the weather in between frontal systems. Forecast winds light westerly going NW later. Cloud base would be high enough for full height launches. So a training day really.

Most flights were circuits today but occasionally a weak thermal would extend the odd flight. These flights were of the order of 17 / 18 minutes with the longest of the day being John Allan in the K8 stretching it out to 22 minutes.

Towards the end of the day two of our junior's accompanying parents were given flights to help them understand what all the fuss is about.
