Geoff writes: a fun and varied day, starting with lots of work for the various online conferences we are in the middle of organising. Then in the afternoon, we realised it was flyable, and loaded up the van with my hang glider and the paragliders, and the archery stuff. Drove to the Long Mynd, decided it was very wavy, and not really an XC day, so went to do some shooting – first time for a couple of weeks, and we need the practise. Then drove back over the Long Mynd and had a nice evening flight, going to both ends of the ridge in light wave. Great views, you could see the Malverns.

And finally, off to the Powis Arms in Lydbury North to speak to the landlord, Gerry, about various events the Long Mynd Soaring Club are running there. He is incredibly helpful, and very flyer-friendly!
