There was a lot of cloud just above the hill this morning, and after a couple of quite heavy showers which washed the gliders out of the sky on a mass landing, lunch was called.

After lunch, there were signs of more threatening showers so some gave it a go and others towed back to derig.
Eventually the sky opened up with some stripey clouds, and Paul Medlock HMS got to 2600ft, whilst Pete Startup 230 surpassed the locals reaching 8000ft. Pete also added a few more kilometres to his record attempt for the week of 'Bishop bashing' - 2000kms and 400 laps so far.

With the potential Ophelia effect expected, most have packed up to head south or southwest. - J&P
