Newmarket Racecourse, East of Cambridge
...
A warm summers day with gently southerly wind creating some good thermal soaring conditions for most of the day. Well done to Nigel Clarke and Dave Price who completed 2 hours for their Bronze XC Endorsement. Former member Martin Paley visited for a flight and his son flew with visiting instructor Peter Molloy (CFI from Dorset GC). Club member Brian Liddell was on a day course with Dick S. and making good progress towards re-solo.
Bob Playle did over 1hr in the Astir, Terry Turner a half hour in the K13. Martin Lawrence also flew and kindly crewed for Ian who set off on a big cross country in the ASW20 and clocked up 340km turning Bury St Edmunds and Lower Clopton at the bottom of the Cotswold edge. John Le Coyte flew his DG over 300km to Kings Lynn and back. The best area being between Northampton and Cambridge.
