Rain in the morning, but then it cleared up. It was probably flyable for hang gliders, although very windy. We went to do some archery and had a really good session. There is a temporary airspace restriction due to the Fairford air tattoo, which this year affects the Long Mynd sites. At 2.05pm, we saw the first jets crossing the Church Stretton valley. These were followed by several more groups, some flying over the Lawley and Caer Caradoc. Impressive, but you wouldn’t want to be in the air at the time.

In the evening I went to Liverpool with Michaela to see Counting Crows. It was fantastic. Brilliant birthday present, thanks Mich!
