Waking up to sunny skies was a promising sight with clouds forming.
With the course week running using two 2-seaters and the K21s still out of action, the club only had one two-seater glider to use, and thanks to Mike Sloggett for completing the flying list.
The brilliant weather gave us the opportunity for longer flights exploring both the local area and further afield, with some going to Weymouth and Tiverton!
In the evening Vicki provided a course dinner.
Thanks everyone for a great day! -Jack Sewell

FAJ CUL-TIV-BAM-TAU-HHL 76km “Winch launch to 1200′ into heavy sink. Dash north for first climb. Turbulent day with a max up of 10.4kts and max down of 11.5kts. High point of 5000′ Given the heavy sink about I didn’t feel confident to go far. No plan before take off but just chased the most promising sky. Very enjoyable and lovely views.” John Borland
