Yesterday most pilots took a launch some aerotow others winched, several pilots did well in the weak thermic conditions logging up to 4hrs in the air.
Today was a lot better, the day started on Benarty ridge then as the thermals got going we all took climbs to the 6000ft cloudbase. four of us ventured over to Creiff, we were not brave enough to go past Loch Earn as the ground got closer and closer to the 6000ft cloudbase. Tony Hayes was the only pilot to contact the wave climbing to 8500ft before GPS failure and looming Edinburgh TMA sent him back down over ground he recognised.
A very good day for all our pilots.
