Sunday 17th January

It's not often you get to soar in wave at 1,200' directly over the site. It was weak and broken, but it was there and the PW6 and K8 enjoyed extended flights beating up and down just to the east of the runway. The sunshine, blue skies, light winds and near tropical temperatures (in comparison to recent weeks) tempted a number of private gliders out of hibernation. Mike Weston puttered off in the Ventus and the CFI rigged his Discus. Even the T21 was dragged out, waking up the wood worm and allowing a few brave souls to go topless.
