James Francis and Dave Taylor had arrived the previous night and rigged the K21 so were raring to go early on Saturday.
Beautiful blue skies and what looked like cumulus forming above the hills early on meant everyone rigged early. Ian flew with both James and Dave but it wasn't until around 3pm that it started getting soarable (weird Welsh weather again!).
I launched in the 20 at around 4pm and spend a very happy 3hrs 46mins bimbling around the local area to Hay-on-Wye, Brecon, and down to Crickhowell. Cloudbase was in excess of 6000ft QFE (about 7000ft QNH) and climbs were in the region of 4-8knts.
Both James and Dave got soaring flights of over 2hrs with Ian, with the last landing going to James at 8:03pm, just as the sun was setting. We all had to abandon climbs of 2knts to get down before sunset - it was still going when we'd landed and packed the gliders away.
Ben Harker and his girlfriend Robyn arrived later in the day, unfortunately missing the opportunity to fly but will tomorrow.
We spend a nice evening at the Honey Cafe in Bronllys.
