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

saturday 2nd

Having moved out of the worst October on record fingers were crossed for a flyable day.  It didn't start off promising with low cloud base.  Then the clouds blew through to reveal blue sky so out with the toys (well, toy - just one K13).  Enough wind to result in a 2,000 weather check launch - a day for landing back at the launch point with a final kick to bring the glider in line ready for the next launch.
Unfortunately, the wind increased as forecast so we had to abandon flying after 4 launches.
