With the pessimistic weather forecast repeated by Pete on Google groups yesterday, it was rather surprising to find the carpark full this morning, but everybody must have looked out the window! The cloud was thin and quite high with glints of brightness, and there was very little wind, just a light south easterly flow.

The launches weren't very high due to the lack of wind, and there wasn't much time for exploring in the circuit, Ian had the longest flight off the winch of 10 minutes. By mid-afternoon, the wind suddenly picked up a little and swung round to south westerly, so there was a swift change of ends.

As we reached the end of the flying list, the cloud lowered and the canopies started misting. Thanks to Tom and Graham H who spent all day replacing the shower doors and didn't get to fly.
So an unexpected - but pleasant day's flying. - Don't always believe the forecast! - J&P
