Club Members Take Advantage of a Strong Thermal Day

Today was forecast to be 5-star, with strong thermals, moderate wind moving from westerly to north easterly during the day, and a cloud base above 5000 feet from late morning to well into the evening, extending across most of England and Wales.

Club members lucky enough to be able to fly instead of work midweek took advantage of the fantastic soaring conditions, with  both of the club single seaters in action (our Astir CS and K6e), as well as a couple of private gliders (an ASW20L and a Standard Cirrus)

Many thanks to Pete, who carried out towing duties to get us all launched by late morning, and to Al for seeing us back at the end of the day.
