It rained all day today apart from on the tops of the mountains where it snowed!! 2.3'c on take-off according to the web cam! It might be a tad cold if we fly tomorrow and am sure glad I packed my winter flying gloves but no thermals:-)
A curry for ‘team’ tea tonight in the Brit Team apartment with, I am sure, a splash or two of wine along with entertainment from Shedsy!
The talk over the last couple of days has been about cloud flying and how to get a system in place to try and sort it out. This was discussed in Croatia 2 years ago which was one of the worst experiences of my life and nearly made me give up on hang gliding and now it raises is head again after it seems no one has made any gains on trying to sort it.
We have had a printout of heights and from it, it is clear there are pilots that are so "weak and insecure" they need to fly in cloud to gain the advantage – these are not my words but taken from the pilot meeting this morning. Lets hope the meeting comes out with some positive results. We find out soon;-)
