Practice day is underway with 12 gliders launched into a largely overdeveloped sky, but pilots are finding reasonable lift to 4000' around the local area.
The practice task is fairly short, just to get pilots in the air and a feel for the local area for those who haven't flown ere before. Of course yesterday was a boomer with 6000' bases as far as the eye could see.
The forecast for tomorrow, the first day, is rubbish, but we'll see in the morning.
