The midweek team have been having fun again :
13 members turned up today for a promising day’s
flying and the majority certainly weren't disappointed, Bob, John, Richard and
Charles managed to stay up for between 45 minutes to an hour. Lech rigged Q5 and toured the sites of south Warwickshire and Gloucestershire for a few hours
while Phil and Russell took their Duo Discus to Ross and Hereford, Steve in his
DG800 also went west to Hay Bluff, Graham hadn't returned by the time we packed
up so no idea where his JS1 got to. (480km out of a declared 518km task! - last turn point proved a bit troublesome...Ed)
The newly serviced winch performed well and a
good selection of club gliders were out for members to fly, the K13, K8 and the
Skylark were all available at the launch point. So a good day to start the
soaring season – let hope it continues!
Graham also sent this photo from his task on one of the Welsh legs. A rather nice view of the Brecon Beacons!
