It was a bitingly cold north-easterly wind with no sun to help the temperature and some lowish cloud. The Thursday thermallers were treated to a briefing on Speed to fly and polar curves and the first of the new briefings on safe winch launching. This was followed by a little tidy up outside to start filling the skip in the absence of Uncle Mark. After lunch, the hangar was unpacked in the howling wind and snow flurries to derig the Junior and the DG505 for the Portmoak Pilgrims. Meanwhile, Liam, Ollie and Max were joined by Will and continued with the sponsored trailer wash in the freezing temperatures. Well done to all the team for persevering with the task in such onerous conditions.
