Saturday 15th May

At about 10.00am the sky looked just about perfect. After a flury of rigging a large fleet of private gliders departed in the direction of the Mynd. Most bottled out around Ludlow, but Mike Weston in the Ventus made it and went on to do a 300k. The ASH went north then a cross to Bicester and round Brize. This must have been a novel experience for Rob Kerslakein the back seat - as an paraglider he's used to a glide angle of 1:10 and hitching hiking back from cross countries. I don't know where the Duo went, but they didn't back until after hangar doors were closed. Back at base the three two-seaters had a very busy day. On the one-day course Tom Egan enjoyed soaring flights to 3,400' on in the K13. We also welcomed new members Tim and Les Clark. All in all, a very good day.

PS I should also mention Robin Birch who spent most of the day stuck in the workshop working on getting PW-6 KRU back in the air.
