The forecast was for a cold front to bring cloud by lunchtime and rain later, so we had a well deserved and much needed rest day today. I worked out that in the previous 8 days, I flew 5 days, a total of 14 hours and 279km.

Mick called us from Llangollen to say he had got high and conditions were good on the ridge but less so over the back, but I wasn’t tempted. Instead we did some gardening until the rain started and I was feeling so lazy, I couldn’t be bothered to drive across to Stretton to do archery once it had cleared. I did manage to perk up enough to go out for a drink and catch-up with Michaela though.
