The 10am briefing was very optimistic - for a good late morning/afternoon before any more rain would spoil play and this was exactly what happened.
Jonathan S flew with Mark C in the Talgarth K21 for two hours, Pete S flew with Simon L in the DG 505, Simon L and Paul S then had a wander to Senny Bridge into a 30kt headwind. Mark C and Dave W then took the DG 505 had fun exploring the south westerly ridges while Simon M and Pete St 230 searched for wave all afternoon contacting some at the foot of Cwmdu Valley. Ian M had a flight of over 7 hrs only coming down because he was reminded that his roast beef was on the table in 10 mins! Simon L started the list again late in the afternoon finding wave to over 4000 feet.
All the members enjoyed a fantastic introduction to this wonderful site, thermals were 8kts at times and the ridge lift was fantastic. They all learnt a huge amount and can't wait for the next flyable day but with the forecast being pessimistic this might be some time!
