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

Sunday 1st April. April Fool?

We got off to a good start with some early soaring under little cu, which fooled everyone into thinking it was going to be a cracking day.  But after a bit the cu disappeared and soaring got harder, with quite a few relights needed.  Pete said it was rubbish, and could only stand it for 3hrs.  A couple of gliders from somewhere else came by calling out good climbs, but they were obviously only baiting us as they only ever did a couple of turns then moved on.  But towards the end of the day, Steve (recently converted to the Vega) got over an hour in it,  and Graham did as Liz had ordered yesterday and got a bronze leg with over an hour in the Ka8 just back from Annual.
