And the soaring continues...

Will Day covered for Mick, who was away for his medical. Launching was off RWY 33. The kit came out early and when I arrived after work around 1:45pm lots of soaring had already taken place. Even Grum soared for over an hour solo in the K21!!! I helped out with some instructing and Will managed some soaring in the Astir before the day cut off earlier than expected around 3pm or so, though by then most had managed some soaring. Thanks to all those who pitched in with the winching to enable yet another good days flying. Others out included; Mike Bean, Ratty, Paul Wilkinson, Paul Woodcock, Geoff Tilly and Dave Taylor, plus our visitors from Burn - Gary V and Tommy L. Gary is hoping to come back and fly the Eastern Regionals at the end of May.
