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

Sunday 4th July

Just enough folks turned out to operate so we pulled out just one K13. Ken P (as DI) did a weather check followed by flying friends who Stuart T had dragged along. Half of the remaining folks (i.e. 2) took a launch and the toys were put away. Coming off the wire at just over 2,000 I flew straight into wind in weak lift and was barely making progress over the ground.

  1. Meanwhile, back at the interclub leg at North Hill, Steve and Chris were wondering whether to rig before briefing, and Tim was wondering whether to derig before briefing. In the end Steve and Chris didn't, and Tim left it till after briefing, then did. A couple of brave souls had a go at the impossible task, but we drove home.
