The heaviest rain we have seen for a very long time. Dave Parker said he saw some blue sky, but nobody believes him.

Breakfast was croissant and real coffee. Croissants by Chris and Karon and coffee by Roger. Very civilised.

Chris and Karon then did a masterful job trying to aerotow on the simulator before setting off on their mountain flying cross countries.

Marta popped in with a new member "Chris", declaring that she is steadily building the Polish contingent in readiness for a take-over. Chris is a radio/electronics engineer (that's right--he knows absolutely nothing about pharmacy). Chris has been solo 5 times before, but a few years ago now.

The wood pile is now a splendid heap, thanks to several volunteers.

After lunch we had a short impromptu brief on hill soaring and then we went home, through the flooded lanes.
