Day 4 It was raining as everyone arrived at the airfield and a short wait while the clearance came through was spent sheltering in the hanger. Unfortunately we found two gliders and a drowned car had been put in the hanger after we had closed the doors. By the time we got into the air the thermal activity had disrupted weak wave and only the first glider had contacted it for a short while. However some good thermalling flights were to be had. Bill Vesty had nearly 2 hours in the DG1000 climbing in thermals up to 4500'. Winds were 225/5 going to south later in the day, even at 4000' the winds were  no stronger. One of our expedition succumbed to flu like symptoms and Mike Wild managed to blag a ride in an ASH25M to Portmoke and disappeared for the day, now he wont stop talking about it! Everyone flew in the thermic conditions during the day and as the heat of the sun faded by 1700hrs we all went in search of weak wave in the now southerly wind. Merv and Hilton Thatcher had some success to the south of the Lochs climbing from 3000' to over 4500'. John and Colin Simpson played in wavy thermals up to Loch Mick managing to arrest descent for a while. A lovely sunset followed
