Sunday 4th April

A bit of lottery as days go. Operating off the cross runway (whose idea was that?) the 1,100' launches didn't leave much time for thermal hunting. If you got lucky and connected off the launch there were strong themals to 3,500' and good streets leading into Wales. If you were unlucky, there was a lot of up round and down. The ICGC Grob dissappeared for some long flights with Andy Cockerell at the helm and the Chris Gough and David Roberts in the Duo did an impressive run to Talgarth and and Shobdon (see pictures). Meanwhile the two seaters were kept busy with lots of circuit practice for the Welsh Family Robinson, Sarah Z and Tom and Helena Gardner..
