“Honey…somebody shrunk the caravan….” 20th January 2022
After 2 successive weeks of sunshine, the mid-week flyers had a more challenging day. Low cloud base led to a late start, but concurrent activity saw a number of members assisting Nick in putting the wings back on FUY which completed its annual, and KAN was de-winged for its annual. Soft ground led to a […]

Mid-week flyers revel in the sunshine…again.. 13th January 2022
For the second week in a row, the mid-week flyers experienced a glorious day, with little noticeable wind at the launch point (slight tail/no chill) seeing outer layers removed and silky smooth landings on a field which just stood up to the recent wet weather. All the club gliders as well as the tug and […]

Mr. Blue Sky was shining on 5th January 2022 6th January 2022
After what seems like weeks of blustery overcast and damp conditions, Mr. Blue Sky shined brightly on us on this mid-week flying day. An excellent turn-out saw 2 x Puch’s, 2 x Astirs and 2 x K6’s (unpacked from their winter slumber) take to the crisp blue skies. The tug was in operation, and pilots […]

As they did yesterday, we used the white Landrover as our launch point control. The headlamps were the emergency stop light, operated from the […]

A beautiful sunshine has welcome the brave on Sunday. The lively northerly wind made take off and landing very interesting and gave us the opportunity to practice our crosswind skills. It has not been much of a soaring day but the great visibility allowed us to enjoy the view of the wonderful countryside and remind […]

The fair-weather forecast brought out a good selection of stalwarts, newcomers, triallers, trainees, visitors and even ab-initio students. A very pleasant day in some welcome November sunshine was had – many thanks to those on duty. However, the weather did spring a little surprise (though with no effect on flight durations). Our local Met guru […]

Saturday 13th saw uni, club and day members make a decent turnout for a November Saturday. With a northerly wind, tales of last Sunday’s wave abounded, with Mike as optimistic as ever. It was great to see Clive again after a period of absence, and it was like he’d never been away as he immediately […]
