Saturday 13th January

Today was a typical cold January day. The low cloud cleared only briefly when the CFI took a launch, so aerotows were binned for the day. We had fun anyway and did plenty of winch flights. 
 John & Paul had a long wait in the glider after we had a big cable tangle, but eventually got the longest flights of the day - an epic 7 minutes, apparently gained 'soaring the Alkerton ridge'.

The winch was actually the warmest spot on the airfield!  
 
Sooty looked cosy and sleek in her winter coat but the rest of us were ready to defrost in the clubhouse when we packed up just before 5pm.
