Dartmoor Gliding News-Saturday 21th May 2016

After yesterday's flying with it's lowering cloudbase, it was no surprise that the cloudbase continued lowering until it met the airfield today. Thick fog with endless drizzle and rain. A typical Dartmoor non flying day.

Low cloud, rain and drizzle
The weather was particularly disappointing as today saw the last visit of Stefi, our Romanian university student who has been flying with us for the last 3 years. Sadly, ( for us), Stefi is now moving on having completed her studies at Plymouth University and will be studying for her Masters in Nottingham next September after a summer of flying her own glider at home. Stefi will be missed.

Stefi chats with Gordon
There was no let up in the weather, but looking at the forecast, tomorrow might well be flyable.
