Tuesday 24 April 2012

Winds forecast at 340/10, and heavy rainshowers predicted for the afternoon. The rain showers did not materialise until much later.

Alan and Graham set some tasks in the hope that the weather would be favourable. They were right, and we had a great afternoon. Alan flew his 107km task with time to spare and Graham reduced his task to 200km from the original 300km and got around in good time.

Meanwhile club local soaring continued, with the K8, K6, discus, K13, DG300 hedging their bets as the wall of weather approached from the southwest.

Mini lectures included flight limitations and altimetry.

The day was complete with a beer and listening to the howidunnits.
