We all hoped that the change in wind direction, behind the overnight front, might clear this persistent low cloud and drizzle of the last few days. Early on it looked as if it might break and the sun peeked through, so we got all the kit out and waited a bit before walking it all to the far end of the field. Then a little drizzle sent us back into the Clubhouse for a cup of tea, and there we stayed until mid afternoon when we decided to put everything away.
Time was not wasted, however, Pete gave a couple of briefings on local airspace and altimetry, Mark L successfully completed his Bronze exams, and we drank more tea.
The Falke appeared out of its hangar and aired its new engine whilst taxying around the field testing the rudder/tailwheel springs.
As might be expected on driving off the hill it was quite obvious that we had been sitting in the orographic cloud all day, elsewhere it had been quite a sunny and warm day.
