Dartmoor Gliding News - Sunday 9th January 2014

Today, with the forecast weather being very hostile and the trout stream deep enough to float a whale, discretion dictated no flying. 

Don in full flow. (Is it just me or is he demonstrating the pose of Christ The Redeemer, Rio De Janeiro?) 
So we settled in for a lecture from Don, this time the BGA Cloud Flying Endorsement. With the gourmet breakfast enjoyed on a Sunday and the very warm clubhouse thanks to the wood burner even Don’s well practiced lecture left a couple of members struggling to resist a late morning siesta.

In the afternoon newly solo Andrew, his friend Michael and grandfather Mike attended Don’s Navigation lecture as part of their preparation for the Bronze exam.

How would our Sunday flyers punctuate an afternoon in the clubhouse?. Has to be with a cream tea of course. Is there any truth in the rumour that flying on a Sunday increases your waistline? I’ll leave the answer to that to your own views.
