A nice flight Pete
Sunday at Gawler we launched 8 to 10 X/C singles at about
12.30. They all congregated in the only thermal over Gawler going to
about 4 to 5000. It was not exactly a "Plastic Stack" but it was the
largest gaggle of gliders seen over Gawler for some time and
everyone was very well behaved.
The day was scratchy to start with but eventually went to
11,000' north of Jamestown. Phil Ritchie in his DG 200 did 300, Adam
Dukat did his 300km distance in the Discus (Congratulations Adam)
and I had a very leisurely 208k in the Cirrus.
All in all it turned out to be a very nice "Sundi afternooon"
