Comments :: After chasing the wind around Wiltshire (it was E at Liddington!), ended up at Westbury mid afternoon to see several pg's and hg's in the air, some with good height. Wind on take-off was 'top-end' but after 3 attempts, managed a successful launch. Sky was quite crowded at times although someone managed a flight over the town and Mrs Westbury managed to get out over the chimney and back. Landed after half an hour or so to warm up, only to find the wind on t/o had picked up to well over 20mph. Waited for a lull which never came, nobody was able to take off again although one bloke tried, got trashed, and nearly put his wing in the tree, so we ended the day's activities packing up the gliders in the rain. Can't fault it!
