York Gliding Centre (Rufforth UK) Please click on ' More info' www.yorkglidingcentre.co.uk
A video of and for members, taken during one of our recent days of 'house wave' on 21st Feb, with loads of members getting airborne to soar in the Rufforth, Tadcaster, Harrogate area (but not restricted to this patch).
We had climbs ranging from localised 1 knot at 1,500ft, to 2 knots plus from 2,000ft up to 12,500ft . Quite a few flights between 2 and 4 hours were logged. Failing light stopped play just as the bar right over the airfield started generating enough lift to read 4 knots even with the nose down at 75knots.
There is a still of the bar overhead the airfield with York just behind it at the end of the vid.
