A good training day and just marginally soarable for an hour or so in the middle of the day under the high pressure gloom. Bruno and Jane picked up the best of the weak thermals to get away from site in a forlorn bid for Bidford but the weak thermals disintegrated not far from home and they landed near Oxhill for a short retrieve. Their bravery was rewarded, however, by winning the day! Tonight we descended on mass (a table for 21 please!!!) to "The Purple Mango" for an excellent Indian meal to cheer ourselves up!
