Braving The Arctic Spring!

The airfield with snowdrifts still round the edges.

Thermalling with CPJ.
 
Gail thermalling in thje back of HVQ.

Still seriously cold, but Don, Gavin, Kath and Co. were all our braving the bitter cold biting winds, and were rewarded with some super soaring on Tue and Wed.

Clive and Eric both did some serious soaring in CPJ, and I flew with Gail for an hour plus in HVQ with climb rates of 4kts plus with peaks at 8kts up to 4500ft.

Lech managed his first solo soaring flight in HVQ, whilst GP and co-joes flew XC in the Starship Nimbus - see BGA ladder for details.
