Changes

The club regularly goes on expeditions around the country to experience different flying conditions. Many sites we go to have large ridges that give consistent lift for the whole of our stay. We usually go for a week about 3 times a year, taking [[:Category:CU|our own single seater ]] and an instructor with us.

Expeditions are run three times per year, in the Michaelmas, Lent and Summer holidays. Specific dates are announced before the expedition, but usually run during the week following the end of term, or preceding the start of term.

We usually go to [[Introduction to Soaring#Ridge (Hill) lift|ridge]] and [[Introduction to Soaring#Wave lift|wave]] sites, as we don't have a those kinds of lift in Cambridge. Previous sites have included:

=== Equipment to bring if [[:Category:CU |CU]] is being taken ===

* glider/trailer (note: an hour of experimentation led to the conclusion that LED lights on a trailer don't work with some older cars' blinking indicator mechanisms)
