Friday 15th February
A lovely sunny day with just a few wisps of very high cirrus didn't look very promising but with the forecast wind being in a good direction we never rule out wave at Milfield. True to form we launched straight into it and away we went. Keith Arkley & Ken Marston in the DG505 and then your blogger & Ian Surley in the K21 took the 2 seaters on some long overdue cross country flights whilst Peter Johnson & Stuart Black logged up several hundred kilometres between them, Stuart getting the highest flight of the day with just over 14,000'. Meanwhile Adam Wilson & Kate Ashley both achieved comfortable Silver heights - well done and congratulations !
Some of the flights are shown below :-

Kate's Silver Height (and trip to see Berwick's bridges) |

JAD reached over 11,000' and went sightseeeing towards Jedburgh |

JZB had a trip out beyond Coldstream |

and X19 outdid everyone |
