Another crisp, clear and frosty start, though I'm told that it was warmer today than New Years Day. We kicked off by rigging HXJ so that we could have 2 K13s; and by the simple method of getting the ARC for JSN and putting it in the DI book, we had an airworthy Ka8 as well! (JSN has actually been airworthy since Nov 19th but no one had looked at the paperwork in the clubhouse) The duty instructor cleverly got things set up at the wrong end and we did 4 launches to fly everything back to the north end so that we were launching into wind. An enjoyable day with splendid views of the Welsh mountains capped by snow and clear vision provided by Tom's fantastic canopy polish. The now familiar canopy misting was amplified in Sarah's case by her sunglasses misting up too. The Stemme and Venture motor gliders went wave hunting to the west and we were treated to the sight of the Stemme gliding overhead at 6000 feet as we were starting to hangar-fly the gliders.
