Today was a race against the forecast rain, would Dartmoor hold it up long enough for all to fly? The forecast yesterday was for it arriving by 15:00, but this morning that had come forward to lunchtime.
The south easterly wind was quite a bit stronger as well. But we could clearly see the rain advancing across the ground and by the time it went past the motorway, we had to call it a day. It was thermic and the south ridge was working up to 900ft, so it wasn't too bad - sorry for those who didn't get to fly.
