| Comments | :: | Nice soaring day at Rybury! Good to get off the ground after so much poor weather recently - I flew for about 1.5 hours and landed as beginning to have ice lolly hands. Gusting up to 18mph at crest of hill around midday. Never flown here before as usually blown out on previous visits, but very pleasant - only a few gliders up in the air as most people out Xmas shopping! Usual suspects in attendance - Mike H, Andy H (longest flight I think), Chris J, our esteemed chairman, Roy, Simon, Darren and a few more testing new kit - Paul H putting in a late appearance just as the wind died as the sun went down. As ever top advice from seasoned clubmates didn't stop me going for a classic drag up the hill at one point so I've got a particularly intimate knowledge of the local fauna and flora. Especially as most of it is now wedged in my flightdeck... (repeat with Sion on Sunday) |

| Comments | :: | That was James Learmont and I on Rybury and it was great. Got 2 and a half hours in. Couldn't get as high as you guys on Milk, but It was remarkably congestion free! From where I was flying, it looked like Richard Ford won the highest for longest on Milk. |

| Comments | :: | Good to be out today at Milk. Westerley wind. Ground was damp at first but the winter sun burnt most of that off during the day. All the usual suspects were there (about 15-20 pilots) 2hrs flying at about 200ft above take off. No XC though. There was also a couple of pilots at Rybury. |
