Dartmoor Gliding News - Wednesday 20th November 2013

We were hoping that the gods of irony would have smiled on us today and supplied an excellent flying day as our usual Wednesday Instructor Bob was away on holiday, but it was not to be.

The day started with low cloud, rain and a strong breeze. As the rain cleared away, the wind strengthened and gusts in excess of 35 knots were bending the trees. So no flying today.

We welcomed visitor Stephen Barr who was booked in for a One Day Course. While we were unable to fly, he made the best of his time at the club being introduced to the members, facilities and aircraft. He then had a series of flying lessons on the simulator to prepare him for his course which has been re-booked for next week.
