Denis flying on the Mynd.We actually managed to fly today. The forecast was for it to overdevelop quickly with lots of showers, so we decided to go to archery. As we passed the Mynd launch, it was way off to the south. However, by the time we got to archery, the sky seemed pretty good, it had moved more west (though not much) and we decided to skip the archery and go back to the Mynd.

We were a bit late really, at that point (though still early in the day) and the showers were starting to come through. I think there was one chance to go XC, very briefly, and we missed it. Later, some did fly in between the showers; but they got worse. We decided to go home for a break and wait for the rain to pass over.

Eventually, we went back to the Mynd and had a nice few hours flying in the evening, followed by a drink with friends in Wentnor. No XC, but a much better day than we had expected.
