The day was a bit overcast, and did not look promising for soaring. A few winch launches were done in the morning but most people packed up and left by about mid-day.
I wanted to try to improve the total energy in my glider, which has been non-existent for my last few flights and Harry Medlicott kindly helped me with this, in between helping out with the earthworks for the new hangars.
I wanted to test it to see if there was any improvement, so I asked Boris to launch me at about 1600, not really expecting to soar. To my surprise the lift was quite good to about 5500ft, not strong, but consistent and I stayed up for about 2 hours. Total energy much improved. There was still lift about when I landed.
