Friday evening: We arrived at The Long Mynd in torrential rain, where a warm welcome was received by the
Team GB Juniors. Later in the evening, met up with the Mendip juniors
and following a big meal we moved to the bar. In the meantime we had the
weather and operations briefing, everything seemed rather optimistic.

Saturday:
Majority of people were up early at 7:30am, keen to get the
equipment out but unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side. We
remained in the restaurant until late morning, when suddenly the cloud lifted
and first glider was launched soon after. With only one rain gap, we
flew for the whole day. Mike and Matt both flew with the local
instructors, in K13 and K21 respectively - battling with the very strong
and gusty wind.

Over 40 pilots have flown today, soon after 5 pm most
people were derigged and ready for a hearty meal. The weather for
Sunday does not look promising... But we shall see. - M&M
