Gliding 15th Sept

Roland and John were in need of a thermal fix so tried to fly today. But the day was looking a bit soft and it was hard to get enough hands at such short notice. John launched Roland (slow descent...) then Roland launched John. With Roland's guidence ("the hawks are to your left") John stayed up for a few minutes (but even the hawks were flapping at times). WIth stable air and sub-visable cirrus dulling the sky we decided to go back to work and try another time...

 Anyway, we're up and running for mid week. The winch went well except the radio aerial dropped off and can't be found. Thanks to Nick T for runnng the wings and Pete for a visit between work commitments. cheers JR
