With the cloudbase at 780 feet AMSL and the airfield elevation at 820 feet AMSL the visibility made this a non flying day. The mild, damp conditions were not wasted though.
Bob spent a large part of the day with the tractor and roller starting the process of repairing the damage to the runway and tracks inflicted by our heavy use throughout the winter. John completed the C of A on the K13 BVB. There was a group chopping wood again. The DGS lumberjacks did not receive my suggestion that they should be singing the song from a certain Monty Python sketch at all well!
After refreshments Don gave a very interesting talk and slide show on “Ridge Soaring” which was followed by some ridge soaring using the simulator.
Ged and Phil then used the JCB to level the area next to the clubhouse ready for some further cosmetic work in the spring. The other bit of news today was that the ML winch guillotine mechanisms have now been modified to remove potential snags from the cable drum area. Thanks David and Alan.
