With a great soaring day forecast, Matthew Wi was awake at 4am (think child at Christmas) and already didn't like what he heard – a gusting easterly. At 9am briefing course instructor Dave confirmed the worst. The weather had changed from the forecast, and with limited launching options in a strong easterly the chances of flying looked slim. The only hope, he explained, was if a very obvious, visible wave bar set up to the west of the club. In these conditions, modus operandi is to make a dash towards it and hope. In the event of failure, you're in a field in the valley. Dave volunteered to try it first... if it happened. Unfortunately it didn't happen. This caused some of the group to set off for home, and some to repeat Thursday mornings antics of coffee and cake. Anther great evening meal finished the day off.
