Derrik S was Duty Instructor, with Tony T BI-ing and Christine and Roddy in the tug.
A relatively solw start due to waiting for the visability to improve. Quite a lot of folks out with high hopes but in the end only a select few managed decent soaring flights as the Cu built rapidly and cut-off the convection locally.
A much tougher soaring day for XC with the relatively poor visibility and weaker climbs. Graham P took Sven with him in the Duo and did Basingstoke O/R clocking up 192km. Our visitor from Tibenham, Pete Ryland, took off late but completed a credible 123km, with Alan L doing the best task without the comfort of a motor in the back with 103km. Bruno and Paul M bravely pushed on in the K.13 but landed out near Newport Pagnell, whilst Dave Heath did Oxford and back in Q5. All in all pretty good considering the conditions.
