smile & WAVE - an excuse to get up close

F%#k the brief there might be wave about or words to that effect spurred us into a mad dash to get airborne and see if we could get some flying in despite a grim forecast. What resulted was a fun couple of hours testing the length of the wave slot that formed in the lee of the Clwyd hills and getting some aerial footage of all the other gliders, well unfortunately except for Barry in JEE.
