A misty start with the sun burning through to rapidly raise the cloudbase during the morning. The dew point quickly climbed above the inversion and the day went blue - but that was definitely not the end of the thermals. The inversion rose to around 3000ft and despite a SE wind there was around 4 hours of usable thermal activity. Country member Roy Colman got the longest flight of the day in Astir NG1 with 3 hours soaring. Others out included Paul Wilkinson doing some BI course prep, Tony Griffiths and Tim Highton, with Ian Atherton instructing and Jim Lawn providing the aero-tows.
