Wednesday 2nd March

Northerly wind with just a hint of east and lots of it promised a classic ridge day. However, try as we might (27 attempts) we weren't able to find it and instead we seemed to find sink everywhere. It's an indication of how "good" the day was when there was excitiment over the first (and only) flight that achieved double digits - Peter Mason with all of 11 minutes. Highest launch I heard about was 2,000'. The ridge refusing to co-operate was disappointing but the banter was good and the donuts welcomed. Oh, and JPC was back on-line in its multi coloured finery.
