Pocklington Expedition

10 club members arrived at Pocklington on Saturday with the Duo Discus and DG500 as well as an assortment of caravans, camper vans and tents for the 2 seater Competition.
Sunday was the first competition day and the DG500 flown by Darren Edge and Richard Kill completed a 181km task while the Duo with Tony Parker and Mike Weston completed a 302km task. Jon Huband took the Ventus around a 220km tour of Yorkshire. Monday and Tuesday were non comp days but we still managed to fly on Tuesday with Sarah Zanoni and Tony Chapman enoying about 90 minutes each in the DG and Duo respectively.

Wednesday was a comp day which looked rather good to start with but proved to be quite difficult, the Duo with Chris Ashworth and Tony Parker landed at Sutton Bank, aerotowing home and the DG with Jon Huband and Tony Chapman onboard landed near Goole. The Ventus had another small Yorkshire tour but needed the help of the turbo. The forecast up here seems better than the south of England so we are hopeful of some more competition days.
