No flying on Saturday due to the weather but Sunday dawned bright and breezy with runway 27 in use. The gusty north westerly made conditions challenging and a bit of a lottery on getting away from the airfield. Jon Huband set off for a (sometimes low level) tour of Wales in the Ventus turning Oswestry and Talgarth, Tom Gooch abandoned his task and had some fun in the wave to over 8000' and Tony Parker and I declared Talgarth and Shobdon in the Duo, we got a ballistic climb to 5000' shortly after the launch and contacted wave over the Severn climbing to over 12000', the wind was around 50-60 knot at that height. We didn't quite make Talgarth but it was fun anyway.

Monday was a rather dull day with some weak thermals available at times, the new course started and there were a few club members continuing their training.
