Wednesday

Robbie Robertson was duty instructor today and as there were so few people a rather informal breifing in the clubhouse about 10:15.  The forecast wet weather has not arrived - hoorah! So more of the same with the wind NW going W, prefered circuits over the fence or up the sw run.  After a short light shower we dragged the K21 to the launch point and Adrian flew with Robbie for 1hr 44mins in thermal and ridge up to about 3000ft. 

Ian took the next flight in the ASW20 and spent a good 2hrs 42mins on the northwest ridge and back to Langorse, and pushing into the valley to try to make something of the very weak wave up to cloud base  about 3000ft.

Apart from our tuggie Keith Richards there was no one else to be seen, so even though the conditions were good for another few hours, the gliders got put to bed (shame) before Jan started out on her drive back to Norfolk (to be back again on Friday night!)

Rumour has it that John Roche Kelly may be arriving tonight or tomorrow morning so given the forecast we'll be rigging the Astir before briefing and trying to get both Adrian and John off solo.

Stats

2flts, total time 4hrs 26mins.  Average flight time 2hrs 13mins. Longest flight 2hrs 42mins Ian in the ASW20.  Maximum available soaring time at least 5 hours!
