We set off for Clatter with the HG at 11am. Clatter seemed the best option as it was SW and the HG Open was going to be there, so lots of nice markers and people to fly with. There was a big cumin south of Sarn and the clouds seemed to be developing fast. Once we got to Newtown we could see towards Clatter where there seemed to be huge clouds and various areas of rain.
It didn’t seem worth continuing so we turned around and drove towards home. Over Church Stoke there was a big anvil-shaped monster and everywhere the clouds seemed to be growing.
People did fly PGs at the Gyrn although with a lot of shower dodging going on.

The HG Open at Clatter was canned because of the showers and storm clouds. Flying in the Peaks was good with a number of 40k plus XCs (though, sadly, there was a fatality there). Lake District also good.
Some of the HGs flew later in the day. Most of them making it back to the HQ pub, The Powis Arms, at Lydbury North (~30k?)
