Dartmoor Gliding News-Saturday 31st January 2-15

While nearing the club in the morning, it was obvious that the forecast was correct and so the chance to fly was very slim.

First jobs on arrival, Stefi cleaned the fire and made it ready for lighting, whilst I put the Generator on. Within 10 minutes of our arriving Adrian Irwin walked in followed by duty instructor Mike a little later.

Today's instructor Mike Sloggett in lecture mode with Stefi and Adrian.

Mike conducted 2 lectures for Stefi and Adrian, Field selection and ridge soaring. While Mike was doing the lectures I did a few small jobs. It was too cold to start anything big.

Both Colin Boyd and Allan Holland arrived later in the morning. Both went to do a little work on the winch differential, but were not there long.

We all decided to leave and by 1:30 the club was locked up.

We had a very early finish today, fingers crossed we get better weather soon.
