Sunday 30th Oct.
Busy morning at club with Peter p , Andre, Aussie mic mowing, me on the whipper snipper and Val and pat planting trees and spraying weeds to make the place look very tidy.
All before 11am when we got into the real reason we go there, gliding of course.
Tony done a quick check flight with Scott then 2 flights with Graeme M that totalled 3 hrs.
I launched next for 3 plus hrs mostly local and tough climbs at times. Really tight thermals when you found them.
David took the Lak17 fan all the way to DDSC and nearly back before he had to push the fan on button. Good effort though on a tough low day.
Others up for hours were I believe
Ivor LS1
Brian WA
Val LS8
Bob Puckatruck
Scotty White Ant Express ( BG12A)
Denis SZD55 , who topped out late in day at 7500ft.
George in the mighty Falke as well.
Sorry if I missed anyone but hard to keep score from up in the air.
Less wind today and better according to skysight but I think sat was the better day.
Good weekend and good company.
Thanks to the tuggies, ivor and 9 knots who made it all possible.
