Rain, Showers, Wind and Hail Couldn't Keep Us Down -
Early morning promised clear skies. The Met Office promised showers and gusts. Neither were fully delivered. By 9am, 8/8 cloud and rain forced an early tea and moaning session.
Equipment and gliders were promptly organised and JP with the help of Rowan set to work on the flying list after the rain past and the sun made a welcomed appearance.
Thermals and questionable ridge lift allowed for good training. Roly in the Junior promptly called cloud base at 2200 QFE.

Sophie (H5) made an appearance and seemed to do the rounds like a shisha in a hookah bar.

Ian started his afternoon duty just in time for a hail shower that grounded all but JP in the promiscuous H5 who decided to wait until the shower stopped before landing.
Everyone flew that wanted to fly and an unexpectedly pleasant flying day was had by all.
