Summer Soaring Week - Day 2

Overall another good day, though it was a slow start as we waited for the weak cold front to eventually pass through and trigger the thermals. It eventually got soarable at TIB around 1:30pm but the 20kt wind broke up a lot of the themals for the first couple of hours and made progressing into wind hard work. Several of us went XC and managed 100km+ (Mark W, Ray, Will, and myself) though Chris L tried to cross a gap and had to land at Eye - Phil M retrieved!
