Wednesday 21st April

The forecast promised much, private owners rigged before the launch point was set up, people took time off work, on the expectation that it would be better than yesterday.- But here in the South west peninsula there was not a cumulus in sight. Plenty of cirrus turned the blue sky to white haze and a substantial inversion at 2500ft QFE. During the afternoon there were some fairly good smooth, strong thermals if you bumped into them. Nobody ventured very far - the fallback tasks were scrubbed - even the buzzards weren't flying. Meanwhile, club training flights enjoyed the day.
