Tuesday 20th Portmoak update

South easterlies forecast but the sky was full of wave, local advice was that it was going to be difficult to contact but we had 4 CGC gliders launched before 10 AM. The trick was to work the southern face of Benarty which took some time and required a lot of patience and then push out to contact the rotor and wave.
The PW-6 was busy all day logging over 3 hours with Alex, Sarah C and Emily on board with Simon Lucas stuck to the back seat. Chris Huck in the Ventus logged over 4 hours and got to 9000', the Duo with Dave Briggs and Mike W logged over 5 hours and got to 7700', Rob Corbin flew the ridge for an hour and then let Simon B in the Discus fly the wave to 7400' , Robin Davenport managed 8200' landing after everyone else and John Mac motored to Crieff and got to 11000'. Richard Kill flew the ridge but didn't quite make it back to Portmoak, landing in a very smooth turf field!

All in all though, a good day.
