Report from White Horse

  
     
A good day tom practise thermalling. Twas a bit sporty to start but as the day went on they were more defined.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and 2 were disappointed they could not buy the largest Mr Whippy in the UK as they would have had to fight their way through the holiday traffic.

Report from Ringstead

   
A good day was had by all in attendance. Some of us were lucky enough to get to Lulworth.
It seemed to be less wind the further you went, but played around at Dungy Head and headed back to Ringstead.
2 hours airtime and it was time to home although others were still flying when I left.

Report from White Horse

 
     
An afternoon in the high heat of a heatwave, of thermalling landing for a drink and back in the air.
Max height 500'ato but exhilarating all the same. Blooming high pressure and the landscape is much the same as the summer of 1976,

Well it was a long day with several Pilots deciding to make the sacrifice and leave.
The die-hards waited till the wind picked up allowing flights to Bats Head beyond was very murky.
Patience paid off and we enjoyed an hour .

Report from the Jurassic Coast

  
     
A good flight if odd at times. Some sea thermals at times. After I had an hour had to go and retrieve another Pilot.
Saw two scratching low on the west side of Golden Cap but eventually made it back up.
The conditions improved and some made Charmouth /Lyme Regis and back.

Everyone enjoyed the airtime.

Report from Bell Hill

No photos today as I was filming a LAT Pilot.
We arrived at Bell and took off just after 1100hrs before the thermals started to come through.
Then after 1200hrs they started to form and were quite lumpy as it got hotter they were coming thick and fast Tony S managed to get to Fordingbridge on an XC he was the only one who left the hill.
We could spot other Pilots at Batcombe flying over Milton Abbas.
3 Pilots at Bell got high out front at Bell and eventually landed complaint of the cold.
It was starting to ease off as I left. Congrats to Dave W for his first thermic flight.
