Sunday was a day of changes. JP and JB left and returned to Devon while Pete Startup drove down from Portmoak and joined the NH crew. Most of the day was spent looking at the dreary and rainy skies, plus southerly wind, but at a late 2pm briefing, we heard that the skies would clear and the wind would swing round to the west at 4pm.
Considering that sundown was 6:30, there was some hesitancy and muttering about a lot of work for a short flight, but we soon put that aside with the realisation that the local weather over the next couple of days is expected to be worse.

We were instructed to be on the runway and ready to launch at 4pm, and pretty much on the dot, we were aerotowing into a small bit of clear sky amongst the overcast. Was it worth it?

Well, the Denbigh ridge started working plus all of the intrepid aviators also got to enjoy a bit of wave flying. What an unexpected (and welcome) change for the day. - Tom Sides
