With the summer season well underway, attendance at Warkworth seemed unusually light.  I guess everyone had looked at the weather and decided that it wasn’t going to be superfantastic so they didn’t come.  Mark Rowe attempted his 5 hour flight on Saturday and came very close to success.  Next time he will try launching a bit earlier.

Sunday had a lot of visitors and some unexpectedly good thermals keeping everyone aloft.  The boys on the ground had to keep themselves amused by climbing trees.

We also had a drop-in from a hang glider who had flown in from the coast.  He was observed getting lower and lower untill it became ovbious that he intended to land on our airfield and wasn’t just passing through on a long cross country attempt.
