18th and 22nd October 2015

Sunday 18th was too windy to fly. Instead we did some maintenance: Adding new shock rope, changing oil on winch, and draft-sealing JW canopy, plus a clean of car and winch engine bays. Rabbit holes got another filling...Thanks to all the helpers (Roland, Phil, JR, Pete, Roy and Doug)


22nd looked like a good thermal day. Gary aerotowed Phil and John into a nicely unstable sky. Soaring was pretty good although the wind affected the thermals in places and high cloud came and went. John flew to Rock and Pillar Range. Phil and John both flew about 3.5hrs and reached good heights (9000' in places). Thanks to Roy for wing-running and Gary for tows.
