7am and the church tower is scraping the clouds. Also a large bull and his girlfriends are exploring the airfield. Cattle sent home and fence put up before getting down to the serious business of the fry-up and more tea.

Two keen students arrive commendably early and briefings begin. Meanwhile Martin Cropper & myself rode the range and checked fences and gave all gates a new piece of rope and re-fixed warning signs where necessary.

Everyone pitched in for a bit of "gardening" and tidying-up around the hangar area and then back to the clubhouse for lunch and more briefings.

Decided to call it a day around 3.30 and drove home watching the rapidly clearing skies.
You don't have to be mad to take up gliding but it helps!
