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

Wednesday 5th

North wind and enough of it to hold the promise of ridge flying but the thermals messed that up.  And what thermals - small and rough.  Climbs to 2,900' in the morning but only to 2,500' later in the day.  Vistor from Talgarth with his Ventus joined the "Wednesday boys" and enjoyed one (of 6) of the hour plus flights.  Trevor G did his usual - drive the winch, rig later than everyone else and take the longest flight (3 hours on this occassion).  Another dozen half hour plus flights helped bring the days total flying to 19 hours of f32 launches.
