Well it all sounded so good on the forecast - clearing cold front, anticyclonic curvature, sunshine and a few clouds, westerly wind ridge/wave? but for some reason the ridge of high pressure didn't move in as fast as expected. So we got all the above but with cyclonic curvature which allowed small trough lines to form over the moors and move eastwards.
After an early start, the first stop for rain was at 11:00, then 12:00 and again at 15:00, although rain amounts weren't great, and the lower cloud was still soarable.
Longest flight of the day was Paul L in H5, with 59mins.

| Rob converted to the Junior (Jill) |
Congratulations to Rob who converted to the Junior, and to George who passed his field selection tests with Mark in Rotax Falke. It was a very enjoyable day gliding although slightly annoying when the showers kept blowing through. - J&P
