| Symmetrical puddles - very artistic. Did someone airbrush Dartmoor out of the background? |
And no, we didn’t move the winch (at all) and yes, we were VERY CAREFUL with the new cables.

Three o’clock in the afternoon’s always the best time to fly’, so the saying goes. Well, the pictures (taken at precisely 3pm) say it all, really – a day which started unflyable, rose to below average and went downhill from there.
With Martin Smith on site there’s always cause for optimism –and today that optimism was sufficient for us to fly two trial lessons, sign up one returning member after 2½ years with a very short flight (welcome back, Dave Turner) and give Marta and Shrek some (very valuable) simulated cable breaks. However, by then the cloudbase was unquestionably too low and it was time to abandon aviation for the day.
And no, we didn’t move the winch (at all) and yes, we were VERY CAREFUL with the new cables.
