So late September is getting toward is the end of the soaring season, but as Ians flight yesterday proved, there's still some good flying still to be had.

So optimistically I set a local cats cradle task (TIB-DIS-WYM-BUN-GAB-TIB). No tug today so I had to launch the 20 on the wire for the first time and got a suprising 1700ft in very light winds. However it was quickly apparant that any cross country would be unlikely due to the poor visibility. So my fall back task was to get a climb that went through the 2800ft inversion - I succeeded a couple of times to 3000ft and did just over 2hrs airborne in what looked and felt like dust soup, but never got very far from the airfield.

The report from our flight with the Diss Express has been published and was a talking point in the clubhouse - you can find it here http://www.dissexpress.co.uk/sport/Gliding-Life39s-little-problems-seem.4529430.jp
