The local wildlife, red kites and buzzards, which sometimes swoop at the gliders when they are all in a thermal together, are useful guides
Rain has just passed through and without any thermals to keep it rising, the glider continues on a slow descent back to Pocklington Airfield.
Back at air traffic control – a bus next to the runway – six members wait their turn to go. Everybody mucks in. Launch by winch which yanks the glider into the sky at 45 degrees from a 1km long cable costs just £8.50 a pop and will take you up to 1,000ft. However, there’s always a chance that you may end up unexpectedly coming down in a farmer’s field on a Saturday night.
