North Hill - The air has changed in Devon, no longer the bitterly cold, dry east wind, but now we have a soggy southerly. Although there was some brightness in the sky there was also a very thick haze limiting gliders to one in the air at a time. After Mike Fitz took a few circuits the cloud started lowering and CFI Pete was testing the record for shortest total flight time for 6 launches - 11 minutes of launch failures and abbreviated circuits.- He reckons he walked 5 kilometres. Lunch was a little late, but the kit was put away as the drizzle started.
Weather up north was poor today to say the least ......

......so the group split up and
arranged to meet at a top secret government location . I would love to
tell you where it is but we have orders to exterminate anyone outside
our group who knows of its location.
Originally a Cold War bunker, in use until the 90s it's was sold as "Farm with nuclear bunker for sale" !
It was purchased by a guy from Edinburgh who is a pacifist, he opened to the public and seems to be attracting a healthy custom. If you are ever up this way go and see it, we will SELL you an encrypted map but at a high price , who ever said espionage was cheap ! - A brilliant attraction .
Whilst in St Andrews getting our coffee fix, Simon M found the rogue Seagull that met his demise at the hands of the DG, Simon put it in to Paul S car and took it back the club where it will have a proper burial tomorrow .
