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

The North Wind did blow

- with subtle changes in direction, strength and instability frustrating some attempts at ridge soaring and rewarding others. Nonetheless the result was 34 flights logged, around nine hours airtime and seven extended ridge flights. Mrs Truelove graced us with a guest appearance, scoring half an hour in the Ka8 in the gloaming while Liz and Carol managed a minute over the hour in the Janus for the longest flight of the day. Although Richard and I claim the moral victory in the LS3 with an hour and a half between us – there being two of them and two of us ;-)
