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

Saturday 29th

Yet another windy day but with it being pretty much southerly, no nasty lumpy bits on the approach.  Starting finals from 500' just the one hedgerow back it was easy to land opposite the launch point!  There were thermals but they were mainly being ripped apart by the wind but there were a few significant climbs reported.  Some weak wave also found.  Chris K reported the highest launch of the day (2,100' in a K13) and Peter E took the longest flight honours at 16 minutes.  Half the flights managed double digit duration.
