People must have had a heavy week because no one took the opportunity of the weather window on Friday - choosing to 'chill and chow'

Saturday morning was wet - drizzling at briefing but faired up nicely later giving windy conditions for the afternoon tether but good conditions for an evening flight and a dead calm for the Nightglow.

Sunday morning saw everybody in the air again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blustery tethering on Saturday afternoon caused this rather odd shape for the new Fort Vale envelope - well, we hope it was the wind rather than Camerons workmanship!

We managed to move Phil's Vitara a couple of feet and Ray moved Roy's Peugeot a full car's length!
