Easter Monday

A lovely but cold start to the day, a strong 25-30knt North Westerly again with some forecast snow.  Duty Instructor Don Gosdon briefed at 10am with a short airfield and weather brief then this was followed by a great frenzy of rigging after tuggy Doc Saunby started proliforating rumours about wave.

Snow fell and the weather was good for a few hours for running the north west ridge, but sadly there was no wave contactable from the site. Jenny flew again with Ian and had a long flight of 1hr 32mins, landing towards the west and close to the sheep!  The longest flight was 2hrs 11mins by one of the locals in a Dart 17 and we were treated to an aerobatics display by aero pundit Don Gosdon and his student in the K21.

The club did 12 flights (average flight time over 1hr) before the weather closed in and we lost sight of the mountain, when the decision was made at around 4pm to put the kit away.

Just after Jenny left to head back for home, Adrian arrived to walk the very soggy field with Ian ready for a full site brief in the morning.  The forecast is changing all the time so we're keeping a close eye on the weather for tomorrow.
