http://cgcdiary.blogspot.com/2007/09/cape-groundlet.html
This is the daily diary of the Cape Gliding Club intending to report briefly on the weather, achievements and (flying) antics of the CGC members. Monday, September 03, 2007. Saturday saw windspeeds of up to 60 kph. Still some Gauntleteers turned up and hoped for the best. None of them flew. Rico took up Bill up in search of wave in these extreme conditions. They found heavy turbulence at Jan du Toit (river) but were unable to get into the wave (if it was there) . They tried twice. Courageous.

This is the daily diary of the Cape Gliding Club intending to report briefly on the weather, achievements and (flying) antics of the CGC members. Tuesday, September 25, 2007. We had a super long weekend with some good flying, nice weather although a bit chilly and good results. The weather is definitely changing. During last week temperatures of 32 degrees were seen at FAWC. The switch was turned over last Tuesday. Otherwise we would have exceeded the winch launch record which was set up by Andre and Mad...

This is the daily diary of the Cape Gliding Club intending to report briefly on the weather, achievements and (flying) antics of the CGC members. Thursday, October 11, 2007.

Herbie reached 12000ft in his Cirrus (a record for this season) and Rob K 10200ft in his Carat, halfway downwind to Robertson, but outside the TMA. You could also ridge soar...This ...

CGC Diary: A long weak end
http://cgcdiary.blogspot.com/2007/08/long-weak-end.html
This is the daily diary of the Cape Gliding Club intending to report briefly on the weather, achievements and (flying) antics of the CGC members. Monday, August 13, 2007. A long weak end. Friday’s weather was worse than Thursday with more rain and wind. The water table on the airfield is so high that the water is not draining away fast enough. Saturday also saw no flying although Bill had arrived in case someone wanted a tug, but had no takers. Sunday was a beautiful day. And that was the weekend news!

The tractor get teeth, but it's not the key! Andre spotted a broken spring on the Motor Falke apron and Johnny ascertained that it was from the MF’s exhaust. Johnny replaced it and the training was able to continue without delay. Well done Andre for being attentive and thank-you Johnny for your efforts. Kevin was on his own as duty p...
