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

Saturday 15th Nov

..will be known for all time as the mid-November day when it was too hot to have a jumper on...
The early morning fog and cloud lifted/dispersed - or at least split so there was some space between... The sun shone through the broken strata of cloud and with virtually no wind - lightest of southeasterlies - it was warm and pleasant. And SOOOOO pretty - although you had to be careful as, in defiance of all logic, a bank of cloud built up on the approach which meant circuits could be interesting - or indeed impossible. Even Steve Barber was flummoxed as to how a lee ridge appeared to be throwing up ororgraphic, but those who flew can attest that it did it all day. At heights between 200' and 700'. If you have a suggestion as to what it was about, do share it. I don't know about anyone else, but I had a great time!
