The forecast said high cloud and moderate S wind. South is good for lots of sites. Moderate is bad for them all. For some reason, which I am yet to fathom (even after flying round here for 6 years), when it’s strong north it’s south at St Brigida and when it’s moderate south, it’s NW. Go figure! So at home there’s no wind, so we give it a go and go out flying. We see evidence of wind in the Val d’en Bas. On getting to the landing field, it’s howling. Gusts which shake the car and NW. We ate our sandwiches, read out books and then went home to work. You can’t win ’em all.
