First cross-country of the year at Aston Down

Eugene Lambert in Pik20E (G-POPE) did the club's first successful cross-country of the year on 1st March.
He went round the Club Triangle and, correctly, put his flight on the BGA Ladder to let us see it and to make CGC look cross-country active.

This is one of many good flights we have had using March thermals - yes thermals......there is very cold night air at this time of year so even the weak sun sets off thermals of 5 or 6 knots with a cloud base high enough to travel.
As well as that we have enjoyed the north-east winds' good ridge & wave over in Wales. Anyone on to try Wales this Monday 8th March? - it looks a good NE wind.
