Weaker wave conditions and a dryer airmass allowed for more successful flying and civilised ground conditions.
Geoff Vincent Launched at 9:50am and towed directly to the primary wave.
I launched at 10:30, directly into the primary wave.
The lift was light (approx 4 knots) at the start of the wave (approx 8000ft) and gradually decayed to under a knot by 14000ft. The wave eventually topped out at 20,500ft.
Geoff tried exploring to the North and to the west, and I explored the secondary (over Great Western). Neither of us could improve on the 20,500ft we achieved near Mt William.
Keith Willis launched in the PW5, but a radio fault and the call of nature caused him to return to the airfield having reached 13000ft.
