People stated rolling in Friday afternoon.
Louise and Brian went up Saddle and both managed about an hour in strong sharp lift.
By Saturday we had 10 campers at the Freedom Flight Park and there were lots of other flyers around eager to soar but it wasnt so good at Coopers. Sunday there were some good flights around the course for anyone who was ready. Many went to Baldy for a flight back towards Lumby. Monday the window opened up early and some 25-30 flyers got good flights around the course. Some gliders were over launch shortly after 10am!
Peter Hamming corkscrewed his Freedom from launch to 8000' in under 10 minutes and it was good to see Tim Staal back at his old home base getting some good air again.
Anyone who waited too long got caught on launch in the normal wind switch at about 2pm. A good reminder to go when its good!
It was great to see and hear the energy around the fire again every night! Good official start to the season!
