Saturday 22nd May

More odd weather! Mostly not very thermic, but I was lucky enough to fly into such a strong thermal on the launch in the K8 that the weak link broke. Up to 2800 in no time (cloud base) then back down almost as quickly. Trish managed an hour in her DG, and that was the best flight of the day.


 We had lots of visitors, and it was quite a fun day. Rain stopped play in the middle, but we regrouped in time to fly our second set of trial lesson visitors. The sky looked a bit threatening so we got on with it, and Alan managed to get third longest flight of the day (a magnificent 13 minutes!) when hangar flying the K8.
