Another wet day. Low cloud, drizzle interspersed with heavier showers and longer periods of rain.

Today it was the turn of the other Astir syndicate G-CFJC ( otherwise known as Phil and Andrew ) to complete their C of A and ARC renewals with John Bolt.

Andrew, Phil and Astir pictured on a somewhat sunnier day.

Ged, David and I set about sorting out our current monowheel cable retrieve trailer. This now has 2 wheels again and plans are afoot to secure a spare. So a yellow trailer with 3 wheels. I wonder if we should paint “Trotters Independent Traders” on the sides ? And a reliant badge perhaps?

Steve Raine continued his cross country practice on the simulator and his techniques are showing a marked improvement although he did manage to land out on his return from Plymouth on one trip. Not surprising really, the wind was set to something like 25 knots from the north with only very average thermals and no streeting.

Looking forward to Saturday already.
