Geoff writes: the original plan was to go to the Malverns again, assuming the forecast was still ok this morning. I woke up to a bit of cloud, and a not very stunning RASP, but eventually set out, though the sky was quickly getting worse. I drove a few miles south, and it got even worse – some quite big clouds, almost no sun, and worse further south, and over to the west. In the end I canned it and turned round. It was a lousy sky.

I have an increasingly bad feeling this was a terrible mistake! Within an hour or so, the sky had cleared, it was streeting, and looked an epic day. At the time of writing this post, 8.00pm, nothing yet is posted in the league. That either means no-one went XC, or at least didn’t do anything worth posting; or, much more likely I think, everyone went a long way and they aren’t back yet. This could well be the third 100km day in five days.

Still, I did do some shooting at the archery field….. not very accurately, since I was too busy looking at the streets above me, even at 5.30 pm.
