The cloud was a little late clearing but when it did things warmed up nicely. John instructed Roland with a couple of circuits in JW off the winch to restore Roland's familiarity with winch launching. Next John (KG) and Roland (VH) spend a hour or two local soaring in the plentiful thermals under the low-level inversion.
Despite concerted efforts the inversion proved too strong to penetrate. The heights were just 3000' locally and about 4000' on the translator ridges. There were nice big Cu's above on the Dunstans but these were out of reach.
Jacques and Roy flew with Doug in JW, and Phil had pleasant flying in KJ, the two gliders often sharing the same house thermal.
Thanks to instructors and winch drivers all!
