There was strangely very little wind all morning with the low cloud, which was a little unexpected, but we got going just after 2:00pm eventually with an increasing north westerly and clearing skies. The ridge worked well for most of the afternoon, with a couple of brief interludes with mass landings. It looked like a big rain shower was coming through reported at Cullompton, but it managed to slide past to the west of the airfield.
