Lovely weather for gliding

Lots of flying going on a Tibenham, weather getting better all week. Pete Ryland completing TIB-SIL-TIB yesterday while we were all looking at the sky in frustration from our desks.

"Better inland than Norfolk. Originally planned a triangle, but too strong NNW wind to skirt the Wash. Should have gone faster/earlier. Concentration lost talking to Lakenheath.
Lovely day out there(at last!)"

A temporary replacement winch is expected on line tomorrow (Saturday) and the day looks promising for some XC. Plus the great news is the K21 is on its way home from Poland for rigging Sunday - everyone form an orderly queue (and wipe off your finger prints!!)
