A very pleasant evening on which to welcome the MS Society who came along for a Trial Lesson Evening. A smaller group than planned as the warm weather took its toll on a couple of those with MS. The folks (both those with MS and their supporters) enjoyed the great views and even some soaring (Chris B seemed reluctant to land after the launch he took at 19:08 – returning after 22 minutes).
Wednesday 9th
If you like a bit of rough this was the day for you. After a weather check flight Colin declared it a “bronze and beyond” day for flying solo. Enough of a north wind to tickle the ridge but thermic activity meant the ridge would not be able to be relied upon. There was a large element of luck whether you caught a thermal or copped some of the 6 down. About 1 in 3 managed to ret some soaring (i.e. over 20 minutes). The stars of the day were Ken R who had 2 flights in the club’s Vega of over an hour each and Trevor G with almost 3 hours in his Jantar.
Visitor’s Video
A couple of weeks ago a couple turned for half day courses. One of them was armed with a GoPro camera and took this video.
A few stills from last Sunday’s aero’s
Seems my video software as a useful screen capture setting!
