Day 2 Spring Task Week

Blue with tops of climbs about 3000ft locally, however those that were brave and tasked saw 4000ft in places.

Mick and Ben H. flew the K21 on task to Honington return, however conditions were not good and so they locally soared. On returning they went to collect Jenny from a field towards Honington. Well done Jenny for going for it on a difficult day. Ben had his first taster of field retrieves, luckily this was a nice one in an easy place to find!

Adrian completed Honington return in his ASW19 and Steve FH completed the same task in his ASW20, both entering their first flight on the BGA ladder.

Paul Wilkinson and Mark declared larger tasks going out towards Cambridge and Rattlesden, Mark landing at Rattlesden, but Paul completing the task with one turn point missed.

Ian launched around 3:30 and did a quick out and return to Newmarket - proving the task was possible and doing his fastest task of the year at 72kph.

But flight of the day was Peter Ryland going to Northampton and a landout at Grafham Water.

Mention also for Harley who converted into the Astir. And Simon who flew for over 4 hours in his Mosquito (longest flight of the day).

42 launches and half a dozen flights of over 2 hours. A good day had by all.
