There has been a change in the weather. Gone are the low clouds and endless rain to be replaced with blue skies. Good news so far but today’s blue sky was accompanied with a 20knot+, gusty wind from the north ( straight across the runway ) which stopped flying; and it was cold, very cold. In fact, the shower that we had in the afternoon was “wintery” with sleet as well as rain. I expect there is snow on the higher tors.
There was plenty of work going on. Treasurer Steve Raine and David Bourchier continued with the wood cutting tasks and the amount available for the woodburner is now substantial.

Rick led a group working on the winches. The GusLaunch had it’s cables drawn out and rewound a couple of times to warm the engine and ensure that the brakes are ready for use. The ML had a cable removed to a allow checking of the drum and it even had some more painting done. Good stuff.

Later, in the clubhouse, Rick used the simulator to practiced the instructors patter with me acting as his trainee.
The wind should have abated by tomorrow.
