Bright & Breezy

The warm weather made it very pleasant to be out on the airfield despite the breezy conditions. Consequently there was a significant number of members out enjoying the day with the hope of catching a thermal. Breezy winds were the order of the day, giving around 30kts at 2000ft! The wind broke up the thermals low down and made it a challenge to soar away off the wire. Nevertheless, several pilots did manage to get away and a number of soaring flights of up to an hour were achieved in thermals of up to 5kts. Cloudbase was over 4000ft QFE.
