21/22 July

Some of the best flying of the year was to be had over last weekend with many pilots clocking up 7,8 or 9 hours over the two days.A lot of private gliders were given a much needed airing.  Many cross country flights took place although given the lack of available land out areas pilots were having to fly fairly cautiously .  Cloud base reached 4,800ft on Saturday and 5,000ft on the Sunday.  Winching took place despite the newly formed Lake Tibenham making it difficult to to out the wires (see pic above)
