Saturday 20th April

Like the Swallows and Martins, visitors from the South started arriving at Milfield today. This coincided with a good thermal day, a day when the thermals started mid-morning and continued until late afternoon. This provided good conditions to allow Barry Lytollis to complete his Silver C by completing his 5 hour duration flight. Congratulations !

But this is Milfield so wave also made an appearance with some of our visitors, John Sentence & Robbie Tatlow in the Janus and Stuart Black in his DG300, joining us to try and get great heights. Sadly the wave only went to around 6500 - 7000'.

An attempt to start Len Dent's photo portfolio got off to an inauspicious start with this poor attempt at a photo of Cragside. Nice if you are interested in car parks !
