Gliding 29th Nov 2015

The "Dr Jacks" modelled sounding for Sunday looked fantastic...thermals to 10,000 all over the place and no wind. The reality was somewhat softer, but it was still a good day.

We met early. First off was John giving Allen a check flight. Then it was Pete, Roland and John in their singles with JW slotting in between. Doug flew a trial flight (Nick) who was really keen and we hope to see him back. Ami had a long soaring flight with Doug and finally Allen flew JW solo for an hour or so before departing back to Wanaka in the Citabria.

Pete flew to Garston and over to the Blue Mts where it got difficult. He landed at Roxburgh.Roland and John headed over to Rock and Pillars, also having OK flights.

Thanks to Russell for towing us in ERW.
