Despite losing most of the morning waiting for the mist to burn away a great day was eventually had by all. We made the most of not...

Well, as expected it was not quite the ideal soaring day today. Indeed when I arrived and unlocked the field gate, I wasn’t sure if I...

Not a promising start to a new month with rain over the airfield in the morning. However, those few who had looked at (and believed) the...

As Steve has already said, it was a great day. I noticed Phil jumped in the Puchacz a little later in the afternoon and the thermals were...
