Latecomers after lunch not so lucky. Two adventurous Pilots went over to Houns Tout and took ages to get up but patience paid off and they reaped the reward as we looked on with envy. Sea eagles made a short appearance and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

5 adventurous Pilts about to launch when we were overflown by 2 Military Helis.
After they buzzed off we took to the sky and boated about for just over an hour going down to Redcliffe Point, 2 ventured to White Nothe and one cheeky chappie top landed at the normal T.O. it had actually calmed enough to do so.
It was a little warmer than yesterday but still very cold.

A few LATS learning to respect this sometimes difficult SITE, remember if you are going backwards use the speedbar.
Otherwise some pleasant soaring,
