Pingu leads the way

Jim (208 TURBO) Pingu Pengelly led the way today with a lunchtime launch into wave over the lochs, shortly to be joined by Rolf (318) Kern and Steve (JH) Williams. This encouraged Lasham into the air and, after soup, Jane (118) Moore, Bob (279) Smith, William (318 - second wave) Parker, Phil (971) Cumming, John (JH - second wave) Herman to take to the air.
Most flew for a couple of hours and reached around 5,000 feet with John topping out at 5,751.34 feet. Climbs over the Lochs and up the valley to Ballater were reliable but limited by low and mid level cloud, although this did make for lots of interesting cloudscapes and a glorious sunset. Pics to follow....
