The wind played cat and mouse with us today. I was convinced it would be blown out and in our garden it was howling. I was looking forward to another day off, but a phone call from the DSC lot at Corndon, promising 7mph winds, had us scuttling off to fly. It was really windy next to the HG landing field, so we sat at the bottom and observed the conditions for a while. During that time the only person to have their glider out was dragged while trying to take off, so we called them to find out that the wind had dramatically increased to 25 – 30mph. So we tootled off to do some gardening. Graeme did phone to say it was flyable at Sarn, but I was in the middle of cutting the hedge and the wind seemed to be getting more gusty where we live, so we decided to go to archery instead. Graeme got 2000′ above, so maybe that was a mistake.

Archery was fun, although I am hopeless with a light club bow now, and managed to make myself look like a mega-numpty by setting up the bow wrongly and Trevor had to come and fix it for me mid-shoot. Our first BBQ later.
