A much more promising start, wind a strong Southerly blowing up the Cwmdu Valley. Much flying was had - mainly duel today as the conditions were too rough (crosswind tailwind) to launch either the ASW20 or the Vega. Lots of turbulance around the airfield and in some places some weak wave had set up, so flying in a combination of ridge, thermal, rotor thermal, and wave, pilots explored the South Bowl, the Cwmdu Valley, with cloudbase around 1,800ft rising to 2,800ft later. Some brave soul even flew down to Crickhowell and back!.
Several long flights were made, John K and Ian clocking up 1hr 38, Jan and Ian later flying for 1:12, longest flight of the day was local pilot Tony Bartlett in his SHK with over 2hrs. Total of 9 flights were flown before turbulent conditions prevented aerotowing, average flight time 1hr.
Forecast for tomorrow is similar today with more westerly (SSW), so probably more potential for single seaters with more of the Cwmdu ridge working.
