Wednesday 7th January

The first Wednesday of the New Year started with poor prospects for the day's flying, nevertheless enough Wednesday faithfuls turned up to get the kit out, in a effort to beat the forthcoming rain and high winds that was forecast for the afternoon.
With both K21s and a Junior, we were soon experiencing some high launches in the strong southwesterly wind, the rain was spotting but not enough to stop us flyin. Unfortunately, by midday the canopies were misting up inside so in the interests of safety, we decided to stop.
By the time we had cleaned the gliders and put them away the bad weather arrived, all who flew said it was was worth the effort, better luck next time for those who didn't manage a flight. - JSt
