The freezing weather continues but it didn't seem
quite as cold because the wind had dropped or we are all getting used to
it!
All the gliders were out early and ready to go
by 10.00am but the Northerly crosswind made for difficult launches at about
12.00 the Northerly veared to the East and made launches even more difficult,
with a NNW wind forecast we decided to stop for an early lunch and see
what the wind was going to do before changing ends.
After lunch, the wind had backed a little so we
stayed where we were to everybody's relief, there were some soaring
flights but with poor launch heights the thermals were difficult to reach, at
about 3.30pm a huge storm was brewing so we called it a day.
Work is underway clearing the old sheep pen of
gorse & brambles and taking down the old fence - it should make a huge
difference to the S/W corner. - JSt.
