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

Saturday 29th

A day for brass monkeys to stay indoors but our members are more hardy (especially those snugly wrapped up in their Ozee suits). Disappointingly the bitter NE wind did not deliver any lift on the ridge but something was stiring. James Hunneman managed to delay the effects of gravity playing around behind the ridge. Launch heights were limited by cloud base - well not so much a "base" more a layer of increasing murkyness. We did get one blue hole which Steve Barber managed to take advantage of and somehow managed to stay aloft for 16 minutes.
