Dave and the grass clearing team made an early start and baled up the grass on the N/E cable run giving us a good clear launch run, meanwhile the blue sky had disappeared with low cloud and drifting fog. Nevertheless, we decided to DI the kit in readiness for the days flying. Whilst we were waiting for clearer weather the cable drum changing team got to work taking the damaged Dyneema cable off the right hand winch drum, whilst the gliders were walked up to the far corner.

Roly agonised whether or not to put off the trial lesson flights, but by the time the gliders had been walked to the south west corner it was obvious with the blue card and wind strength it was out of limits to fly the visitors.

Nigel Everett completed his yellow card checks and everyone who wanted to fly flew.
Nick Jones turned up with one of his all terrain vehicles with a very excited Matt dying to have a drive in it.......
