We did manage to fly today and certainly made the best of the day. As it was S.E. we had to set up at the far end and so we were a little later starting than usual. Cloudbase was 1400′ pretty well all morning and there was lift under the cloud.
By lunch time the wind was gusting up to around 30kts and it was starting to rain so we called it a day. Everyone flew who wanted to and a couple managed 2 flights. It was very turbulent but I think we all had a good time and we put the 2 gliders away with no problems. It was well worth the effort and was a very interesting morning. It was a shame the rain did not hold off a little longer but overall a good day.
