Well yet again the weather Gods got it completely wrong and instead of a day of rain as forecast we had a full days flying and not a drop of rain was seen!
A reasonably early start paid off for a lucky few when wave set up of the back of the West ridge. The surface wind wasn't great but it increased rapidly with height - perfect for wave setting up. Unfortunately it didn't last long(enough), the end being marked by Pete S dragging 230 up the field for the first time this year and promptly managing 2 short circuits. Said he was still happy though as it tested his new vario - whatever. Day winner by far was treasurer Tom who flew for well over an hour in the Junior.
Everybody had a good if unremarkable days flying, but when will this Easterly driven air mass go away and bring us "proper" soaring weather?
The Committee met last night and we await their deliberations.
