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

Sunday 17th Part Duex

Rigged, followed Pete (above me). Followed Pete more (still above me). Got low at Cheively, slight poop on how low I was with no lift, asked Peter to call if he found a climb (still above me) scratched and got high enough to get back to Rivar landed and changed underpants. Big job done...
It would seem the first thermal was a freebie, the rest you had to work for. Still it was flying, just  not far. Rivar-Cheively, Newbury, Hungerford, Rivar. Depressingly small.
I did have my daughter, son in law, as well as Grace and Daisy turn up at the airfield. to wish me a happy fathers day. Priceless.
