Gusty Blue Weekend

A relatively quiet weekend with blue skies and gusty easterly winds which provided challenging conditions for ab initios and only limited soaring. Dave P ran Saturday and Derrick S ran Sunday - both making good use of the K21. Sunday also provided some good motor-floating - Tim D brushed up his patter with me in the Falke ahead of his BGA Ass Cat Course which starts next weekend, and later Graham and Al took it away looking for wave/ridge soaring at the Malverns, and called in at Bidford on the way back. Overall I think we made the best use of the conditions available. Sunday evening saw 16 of us at Epwell for grub.
