The occurrences and happenings at Shalbourne Soaring Society. A gliding club near Andover, Newbury and Hungerford.

Sun 25th July

Bob said: Despite a humid start, thermals up to 5 knots were available to 3000 feet. Sadly only two gliders were out due to the lack of attendees. However, the Sport Vega again earned its existence!
Stephen said: By the afternoon it was possible to get to 4,500 before things started to get murky (I only managed 4 on the averager)

  1. Interclub at Halesland was scrubbed. The forecast was good, so we rigged in the fog. It cleared to a good-looking sky, but cloudbase never got above 900 ft, although it was possible to find a few bits of lift under the cu.

    It just goes to show how much better the weather is at Shalbourne.
