Sunday 28th December

Only a few stalwarts turned up today but there was an enthusiasm to fly. At first sight the wind looked too light to produce any soaring but, like the previous post, the Tors and Cheviot worked very gently and smoothly. On the last flight of the day, Bill Stephen and Alan Gibson in the Puchacz towed off to the Tors. Those on the ground then noticed that, over Cheviot, a beautiful smooth wave cap was forming. We called the Puchacz to let them know only to be told, "Yes, we know, we are on top of it." So, last flight of the year a wonderful climb to 5000'. We hope 2015 will bring lots more !
