Title: 2016 ISR Tountinna Glide in
Post by: Fred on June 12, 2016, 20:36:43 PM

The Tountinna Glide in took place on Saturday.
Despite the weather forecast of low wind and rain, we were about 15 to meet up from all over the country.

And again, the forecast was wrong!  :)
We started the day with light winds, but plenty of thermals. Very good for a change! :)
The rain managed to pass on each side of the slope during the day, and as the day was progressing, so as the wind... And the size of the gliders!
All in all, a great day I believe we all had! Lots of flying, lots of gliders of all types, and most important, good friends, chats and banter!  :D

Lots of photographs during the day, so we'll get more photos hopefully, but here are a bunch of mine :)
