Today was always likely to be a day when some gliding might be possible if the actual weather was slightly better than the forecast
On arrival at the airfield it was evident that the cloudbase was as forecast - too low to dampen any immediate optimism for flying. And with the wind strength much stronger than forecast it was a straightforward decision to leave the gliders in the hangar whilst members enjoyed food and drink from North Hill Cafe.
Its been a wet week at North Hill
The morning saw various ground briefings completed by James Flory and Mike Sloggett whilst some members fettled gliders and trailers, and with Callum Ellis getting to know his newly purchased glider which arrived on site yesterday
Around lunchtime it was clear that unfortunately the weather would prevent any flying taking place today, so the day was formally ‘scrubbed’. - Mike Sloggett
