The forecast for today read like a list of all possible weather with snow, hail, rain showers, gale force winds, and flood warnings everywhere. So not a flying day then.
There was work going on at the club. The ML winch was attacked by Dene Hitchen, Allan Holland and Rick Wiles. Dene ( Scatch to his friends ) worked on refurbishing the rollers. Allan and Rick worked away at the stubborn engine which still doesn’t want to play.

Alongside all this winch work, Ged and Mike assisted John Bolt to complete the C of A and ARC renewal of the Open Cirrus.

In the clubhouse Don was working with Darren Wills on the preparation for his cross country navigation test. I was really impressed by Darren’s command of all the data streams required. His weather briefing was particularly good. After all this work, Darren used the simulator to practice some cross country flying in thermal conditions eventually landing out just short of North Hill after about an hours flying.
Will the weather improve soon? I really hope so.
