The forecast was for cold easterly winds. We actually got very cold winds from the NNE. The Atmospheric
Sounding showed complete cloud cover at 4000 feet and so it turned out. The Sounding also showed an inversion but this was much higher than usual for good wave conditions at Brentor.

We did get wave but it was limited to about 1300 feet above the airfield. But this made conditions interesting and meant that the day was soarable for the whole day for the careful, patient pilot. Several pilots managed soaring flights to 30 minutes or so in the weak wave, and a strange wave, thermal, ridge mix that developed later in the day.

Great fun ( If you were well insulated from the cold ).
