A slow start, the cloud was not looking promising. A SW wind had set up what looked like wave but few options of a decent flight were seen.
However at 17:57hrs Bo and Mike H decided to brave the rain showers and towed out to a gap in the cloud at Llangorse Lake. Released hieght was 1800ft and after dodging clouds pushed forward to a gap over the river where they hooked into the front of the wave. A climb of 4knts took them up to 12,500ft, they flew over the top of the lenticular then down the back at 70knts and full airbrakes. The whole flight was about and hour and beers were on Mike!! The window of opportunity was very short and neither John K nor Will (with Ian) had success contacting the wave.
After packing the hangar, a pleasant evening was spent at the Farmers Arms at Cwmdu.
Forecast for tomorrow looks like a drier air mass and improved soaring possibilities.
