Geoff writes: we had hoped to go flying today, but the forecast wasn’t that brilliant this morning, showers throughout the day, so we canned it. We had second thoughts about lunchtime when we got a call from Mick at Llangollen saying it was sunny there, just waiting for some clouds to clear, so we set off. But there were big clouds on the way, so we called again. Mick still hadn’t flown at that point – he was waiting for the big black snow cloud to pass over. We decided that even if we did fly, we would be dodging showers, and not want to go XC given the sky we were under, so went home, loaded up the archery stuff, and set off for the archery field. On the way, the sky seemed to be improving, so we phoned Mick again …. this time he was waiting for a rain cloud to pass over.

So at this point we really gave up the idea of flying and went to archery – interrupted by rain, but Judith had a master class from another Geoff on how to make a string for a bow. We didn’t shoot much, but we did learn a lot.

Driving back, the weather was worse, lots of rain clouds in the distance – though probably later on, in the evening, it might have been flyable when the clouds cleared – actually, it was probably flyable on and off all day, just not a sky you would want to get high in, or go XC.
