Gliding Sunday 6th Dec 2015

It was a cracker day so we started early. Phil launched John and new member Nick in JW, and then winched up Pete in LP. Doug arrived to launch Phil in KJ.

John and Nick thermalled away, eventually finding weak wave above the the airfield. It was ideal training, plenty of time for Nick to learn stick and rudder skills. Later they headed to the Old Man, climbing to about 11,000' in dying wave, returning after a couple of hours.

Meanwhile Pete was off out east to R+Ps, Hawkduns and Remarks for a great flight. Phil also had a nice long soaring flight. John had a late start but managed a couple of hours too.
