Tuesday 5th August - Course week

Steady rain all morning with a particularly heavy bit at lunchtime meant we spent all morning talking etc on weather, circuits, ridge flying on the south ridge and  wave flying.  

Pik the sheep shelter, before they preferred 19m of Kestrel
The weather cleared after lunch but it took a while before the field drained enough to even walk on (about 20mm so far today). 
A little damp
First launch was just about 16:00 and we thought that we would get 2-3 hours in, but unfortunately the southerly wind brought the orographic cloud in at 17:30. Not before Lizzie and Martin were able to put into practice the soaring on the south ridge (as briefed earlier).
