Arriving at the club in sandals and T shirt I was immediately struck by the idiocy of my clothing!! Blue skies on the way down had translated to solid grey clouds and a hefty wind at the club . Too much wind really to do a great deal with trainees or winch trial lessons. After some tea drinking (and in my case the addition of two jumpers, socks and trainers) we initiated an aerotow only operation on the 'short hard' using the K21. Rowan was tugging in sometimes 'interesting' approach conditions, while Dave Perkins flew some guests and Tony Mallin for the rest of the morning and early afternoon.
Conditions improved late morning and some good soaring flights were had by the visitors, though the photos are very deceptive as you can't feel the 30kt wind. It was a bit nippy outside !! 
John Donovan stepped in to give Dave a break from flying, then Paul D & Jon C went soaring for an hour to finish off the day. Liz cooked a roast beef dinner for 15 of us in the evening. Thanks to Dave, John & Rowan for their efforts at the launch point, and Liz for feeding us all so well!
