Another disappointing
day with early mist and low cloud, but plenty of members wanting to fly.
A damp and foggy start (John Street) |
We eventually started about 11:30am with a cloud base of just over 1,000ft
with some gaps.
The beech trees gradually appeared (John Street) |
We
had three Trial lesson flights booked two of them "mile high" it
looked at times as if the clear gaps were large enough for an
aerotow, but the gaps closed very quickly making it unwise to try. Roly
looked after the guests whilst waiting for more suitable weather but in
the event the weather stayed the same all day with a freshening
southerly wind.
JB & Matt got their chainsaws out and attacked the recently damaged Beech tree branches that came down in the recent heavy rainstorm.
Everyone flew who wanted to and we got some useful check flights out of the way. - John Street
