Ridge day and soaring xc for the DuoDiscus

7 day operation got away to a great start with our first course member enjoying a rough but soarable first day of their course under good streets to 4,000ft.

The strong north westerly (330 degrees, 19kts gusting 28kts) was enough to encourage the Duo Discus and K21 out to the ridge early in the day.

In the afternoon, Jim White and John Herman set off to the ridge but the sky looked too inviting so a task was set for Bicester to see what they were up to.

Late on in the day layered lenticulars were in evidence over Winter Hill
