Abysmal weather all day, with low cloud and drizzle persisting until late
afternoon. The morning was spent with more chalk and talk: spins and
stalls. The afternoon in a much more light-hearted vein: Paul K set up
the gliding simulator. It soon became apparent that James F and Paul K
were our resident experts, with the rest of us struggling. A gaggle of
instructors gathered in the corner, and seemed, well, reluctant to try
their hand - wonder why??
Keepers Cottage this evening for the Course
Supper. Hoping for better weather tomorrow and Friday. - WWF
In the evening, the third of Henry's Met Office groups enjoyed a lovely evening flying after the horrid weather for most of the day. The flights were extended with a mixture of thermal, ridge and possible wave. - J&P

The
day was scrubbed due to lots of rain, my logger had failed the day
before and the majority of today was spent panicking trying to fix
it, thank you to Bob Bromwich who lent me a back up logger for the
duration of the week.
The glider is all
packed up to drive to Rufforth as tomorrow the forecast wind is unsafe
to launch from SUT. It's looking like a fantastic day, I've been
persuaded to declare a 500... Let's see if I can improve on my previous
attempt of 160 km! - Liam
