The good news was that there was definitely wave in the area with some lenticulars and rotor clouds making brief appearances locally. So we rigged, flew to great heights and had a wonderful day, did we? Well no. In the morning the wind was very strong and gusty. Base wind speeds at 21.2 knots with gusts up to 48 knots.
The windsock had a good workout today |

While we waited expectantly, Rick Wiles and David Bourchier were working away on the various defects afflicting our Land Rover Discoveries. By the end of the day various parts had been added to the wanted list and several faults fully investigated. Well done chaps.
Ever wondered what a broken Discovery CV join looks like? Neither have I but just in case here's one |
